During today’s debate on a non-binding resolution pertaining to the Iraq War, Representative Sam Johnson (R-Texas) gave a speech which moved many of my colleagues and me.  The resolution, which opposes troop reinforcements in Iraq, passed by a vote of 246-182.  Rep. Johnson and I were among the 182 members who opposed the resolution.

When it comes to talking about the War in Iraq, Rep. Johnson, who served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars and spent eight years a prisoner or war, has a higher standing than most if not all of my colleagues in Congress.  A link to the speech is below.
