RE: Little Sioux Tornado
DA: Thursday, June 12, 2008
Senator Chuck Grassley today released the following comment after the news that four Boy Scouts lost their lives and many more were injured in a tornado near Little Sioux.
“Boy Scouts are often called upon to serve as leaders of our nation in all walks of life. We lost four promising leaders far too prematurely and painfully, adding to the already existing hurt many in
Iowa are feeling. My thoughts and prayers go to these young people and their families. Iowans have always come together during these tragedies, and I know that sense of community will once again come through.”
