Oregonians aren't the only ones who recognize the extraordinary service and sacrifice of their state's National Guard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never thought Oregon would elect to the U.S. Senate a Mormon, but it did.
Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen volunteer to protect and defend this country and all its citizens, and do so with honor, integrity and excellence. Our nation continually asks them to do more and more, with less and less.
I want to recognize and thank all Guard members for their service. It means so much to our state and our country.
Nobody's more mindful of the sacrifices of our troops than those of us that command them.
Our nation's military and law enforcement personal work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation.
Most honorable are services rendered to the State; even if they do not go beyond words, they are not to be despised.
As a lifelong Oregonian, I prefer our forests green, not black.
Without the Guard and Reserve, our active duty troops could hardly deploy.
Oregon is the only state in the union that facilitates suicide.
Oregonians have many good reasons to be proud of our election system.
