On the recordMarch 20, 2003
I back this resolution because of my complete support and admiration of the brave men and women in our armed services. Each of us owes a debt of gratitude to these selfless individuals who have put themselves in harm's way in service of our Nation. Like many of my fellow Americans, I still disagree with the process that brought us to this juncture and my vote here does not represent any change in that belief. But I pray for a quick end to this conflict and for the safe return of all of our men and women in uniform.

No. The point being that it is not 102 years old and around since the Spanish-American War. It was repealed after that war in 1902. So the gentleman is inaccurate on that point.
