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.
