Legion Statement on Senator Inouye
INDIANAPOLIS (December 18, 2012) –
National Commander of The American Legion James E. Koutz issued the
following statement on the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye:
“America lost a true hero and veterans
lost a staunch advocate with the passing of U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye.
His love of country was never more evident than when he earned the Medal
of Honor and incurred serious wounds while
leading his men in battle at San Terenzo, Italy. His lifetime passion
for veterans, our military and our national security led The American
Legion to present him with our prestigious Good Guy Award in 2005. Sen.
Inouye was a proud Legionnaire and a great patriot.”
