We are a product of those who came before us. Their lives and choices help shape who we are. Russell M Nelson said, “When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves.”
Senator Mike Lee has a good pedigree. His Grandfather, Rex Lee Sr. (1905-1934), was labeled by those who knew him as an honest attorney, despite his young age. He tragically died in a hunting mishap on this day 89 years ago, November 11, 1934.
With regard to Veteran’s Day, Senator Lee said, “America owes its veterans and their families an enormous debt of gratitude for putting themselves at risk to protect our rights and freedoms. Some have made the ultimate sacrifice to safeguard our lives, and for that, Americans will be forever grateful.” – From his website
Mike Lee’s great uncle, Warren Lambert Hussey (1896-1976) served in World War I, both in Florida and overseas in 1918-1919, before being honorably discharged from service.
As Senator Lee has said, “The family is the most basic and essential building block of American society, and strong families are the best predictor of financial, educational, and emotional success in life.” Five years after returning from the war, Hussey married his life long sweetheart, Pearl Clark, and they raised two children as he served most of his career in the US Railroad Mail Service. They remained committed to each other until his death in 1976.
Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
