Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 27, 2023
Again, it is so refreshing to see colleagues of both political parties across the country from South Carolina to Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. Actually, it is reflective of the deep affection that the people of America have as we appreciate, in particular, Turkiye, a NATO ally, that it is always to be cherished because when you visit the Korean War Veterans Memorial here on the mall in Washington, Mr. Speaker, you see the Allies who stood together to oppose the Communist aggression of June 1950, and the first country that is listed is Turkiye. It is an ever-present reminder of our appreciation and then our recognition of Kemal Ataturk and his success in creating a democracy in the Middle East. Over and over again there is such a great affection, and the significance of the Turkish-American community and the Syrian-American community what they have meant as entrepreneurs across our country is so positive. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
