I would like to say a few words to commemorate the life and contributions of one of Americas most celebrated heroes of this century. Charles Augustus Lindbergh. With his death at the age of 72 on August 26. 1974. America suffered the loss of a daring and courageous patriot and pioneer. Yet. though we are all saddened with his passing. I am sure the Nation joins me in extolling the accomplishments of this great American. Born in Detroit. February 4. 1902. Lindberghs father was a Swedish immigrant who served five terms in Congress. and his mother was a school teacher. At a very young age. Charles showed an intense interest in excitement and adventure.
