Sam Johnson statement on death of Osama bin Laden


Washington, May 2, 2011 -

U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) released the following statement on the death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden:

 

“Way to go troops!  Thank you for your tireless courage and deep resolve. We are proud of you. God bless you and I salute you.

 

“Whether it’s shooting Somali pirates from a heaving ship at sea to rescue innocent Americans or finding and killing Osama bin Laden, the nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Navy SEALS – and all men and women who wear the uniform.  This is a victory for freedom and justice.”

 

A 29-year Air Force veteran, Johnson spent nearly seven years as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam, more than half of that time in solitary confinement.
