Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released a statement honoring Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), the last World War II veteran to serve in the chamber who died early Monday morning.
“The entire Senate is saddened today by the loss of our colleague, Senator Frank Lautenberg. The Senate’s last remaining World War II veteran, Frank was a patriot whose success in business and politics made him a great American success story and a standout even within the fabled Greatest Generation. Elaine and I send our condolences to Bonnie, the Lautenberg children, and the entire Lautenberg family.”
