“[O]ur Nation owes him a great debt of thanks, and to his family as well, to his wife, Joyce, and to his children for the sacrifice that all of them have made so that Secretary Rumsfeld could serve our nation…So I thank Secretary Rumsfeld on behalf of Floridians and, I think, a grateful nation as well. The men and women in uniform that he has led, that I know, have thought so much of his leadership; I know he’s given so much of himself to the transformation of our military to prepare us for the future, and I, just for one, want to rise today with a voice of thanks to a great American for his service.”
— Melquiades “Mel” Martinez, U.S. Senator (R-Fla.), incoming GOP chair, former Bush cabinet member, during remarks on the Senate floor Dec. 6
