This just came in to the WMD Mailbag:
RICHMOND, VA – Congressman Eric Cantor (VA-07) released the following
statement on the retirement of Senator John Warner (R-VA)."Today is a day to honor Senator Warner's decades of invaluable service to our nation and the Commonwealth of Virginia. John is the true embodiment of a statesman, and he brought integrity and wisdom to the Senate for over 30 years. Serving in the US Military both as an officer and then becoming Under Secretary of the Navy, Senator Warner dedicated his life to public service. I think I speak for the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, as I thank Senator Warner for a sterling career and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. He will truly be missed."
