I wish to pay tribute to SSG Robb Rolfing and his heroic service to our country. He was killed in action on June 30, 2007, by enemy small arms fire while on a mission near Baghdad. Robb was a member of the elite Green Berets as a special forces engineer to Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group, Airborne, in Fort Carson, CO. Robb was on his second tour of duty when he was killed. Robb Lura Rolfing was born on December 4, 1977, to Rex and Margie Rolfing in Sioux Falls, SD. He grew up admiring 'MacGyver,' prompting him to start carrying duct tape everywhere he went. Before Robb became a soldier, he attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, majored in physics and astronomy, and played soccer. During his time as captain on the Vassar soccer team, he took the team to Vassar's first ever NCAA tournament postseason playoff, in any sport, where he scored the winning goal in the first round of games. To further demonstrate his talent as a soccer player, he was named to the NSCAA/Adidas All-Region Team and the All-New York Team.

The other thing we have to acknowledge is one party's not going to get this done. And I know that's hard for Republicans to hear because so many Republican office holders have sold the American people a bill of goods that this can be done…
I don't really know yet, but I do know that I'm surely not ready to retire. I'm 50, but I feel like a real young 50, and I'm still filled with plenty of piss and vinegar. Let's go get it done.
In general, I don’t think the House is going to love this version compared to what we passed, but at some point we’ll figure out a way to get to yes, collectively.
