Political Quotes

“I rise this morning to recognize the passing of a friend of mine for 30 years--a friend to me, to our Nation, and a friend and champion to our servicemembers--Major General Timothy Lowenberg. Tim truly believed in service and began his public life at a young age, first in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at the University of Iowa. It is rare in life to have the opportunity to meet a person whose very courage is contagious--Tim's was. A person whose patriotism and steadfast advocacy never failed to inspire, but that was Tim. General Lowenberg testified before Congress many times as the adjutant general of Washington State. Many of you may have met him. He was always advocating for measures to keep us safe, and on behalf of his fellow servicemembers. Sadly, Tim died suddenly on August 27, leaving behind a legacy built over 44 years of service to the military and the community. His wife, Mary, and his daughter, Cathy, lost a devoted husband and loving father, and our State and Nation lost a true patriot. ____________________”
