“as I rise tonight to begin this hour, I rise with a very heavy heart, but with the most renewed sense of pride and patriotism I have ever had as I honor the life of Sergeant David Thomas Weir. Sergeant David Weir died 8 days ago on the streets of Baghdad in service to our country. He is from Cleveland, TN, where last night over 2,000 people showed up at the Bradley Central High School football arena to honor a great American hero. I spoke with Sergeant Weir's mother and father 2 days ago, Lynn and Jackie Weir, and it is just extraordinary to me that there are families in this country that love freedom so much, love our country so much that even in the most grief and sadness they could ever imagine or experience, a hundred percent believe in the mission, the service, the sacrifice of their own son to defend liberty for our Nation. Lynn Weir told me that if he would have tried, and he didn't, to keep his son from going, he could not have kept his son from going.”
