Along with all Senators. I join today in mourning the death of Ed Muskie. who passed away here in Washington early this morning. The son of a Polish immigrant. Ed Muskie grew up knowing about the blessings of freedom and democracy. and he spent a life time standing up for those blessings. beginning with serving for 3 years In the Atlantic and AsiaticPacific Theaters in World War II. After the war. he returned to his beloved Maine. and soon began his political career as a Democrat in a State that for over a century had rarely elected anybody but Republicans. Ed Muskie changed all that.
