WASHINGTON – With the passing of Colin L. Powell, America lost a great leader and public servant. General Powell blazed a trail for others to follow as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, then as U.S. Secretary of State. He won bipartisan respect at home and around the globe because of his integrity.
My prayers go out to Alma and the entire Powell family as we celebrate the remarkable life of a true American. General Powell's humility and dedication to the American ideal never faltered. He will be missed.
