Mark Warner actually said...

"Senator Mark Warner and Senator Jim Webb, along with Representative Scott Rigell, have introduced legislation that create a National Park Service Unit at Fort Monroe."

"The key issue in this country is creating jobs and revitalizing the economy, and we know that establishing a National Park Service Unit at Fort Monroe is a key step in accomplishing that mission."

"I hope the Committee will take into account the strong community support as well as the bipartisan support that exists at all levels."

"Fort Monroe became a site of hope for thousands of enslaved persons seeking freedom."
