Louie Gohmert: “Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are really blessed here in the Capitol with some of the greatest people that work around here…”

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are really blessed here in the Capitol with some of the greatest people that work around here and touch the lives of so many. So many come from around the country to admire our great national Capitol, and the people that work around here touch them one way or another. Albert Caswell is one of those great folks. It seems every day we see him with wounded warriors, in addition to his regular duties as a tour guide. He's taken them through the Capitol, doing poems for them, having them signed by Members of Congress, getting them entered in the Record, getting them to individual warriors. He just does great work, so I'm quite pleased my friend Steve King read that into the Record. The truth is, freedom is not free, and we're surrounded by people who have given a great deal--given limbs, given so much. I was standing by a Gold Star mom in Texas this past week, and I really wasn't sure who gave the most. Her son gave everything--gave his life. But his mother gave her son. We're told by Jesus, Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This Nation has experienced so much love by people who have laid down their lives for their country, but at the same time millions of parents have given their children proper teaching to love the things that make this country the greatest country in the world. Instill those values in their children for them to be willing to show the greatest love that anyone can have.…”
