Political Quotes

“Sonny Montgomery also was the individual who authored the Montgomery GI bill and is responsible for the education of our young people. So many have used that bill to go on to school, and it has had such a positive impact on the men and women that have served this country that Sonny's name is known by people far and wide in this Nation, not just because of his commitment to the Guard and Reserve, but to the continuing educational needs of our young people. I had the pleasure of accompanying Sonny on my first codel to North Korea. He led the delegation into South Korea. We drove up to the DMZ. Sonny led the official delegation to bring back the first remains of Americans from the Korean War. He handled that responsibility with a great deal of pride and responsibility, as Sonny Montgomery did on a continuing and frequent basis in representing this Nation and our President, in receiving the first remains of American prisoners that had been found by the North Korean Government. I would just add my name to the list of all our colleagues who have such high regard for Sonny Montgomery. He is a statesman, and the gentleman has done a great job in making sure that this bill is a lasting legacy to Sonny Montgomery's leadership.”
