Madison, Wisconsin -- As we continue to salute our fallen veterans and those currently serving, and let’s honor the spirit of Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day not just in May but 365 days a year, I wish to note on another matter that last week, the Wisconsin Democratic congressional delegation came through and saved the popular Wisconsin SeniorCare drug program from the Bush administration’s determination to dismantle it.

But Kohl, Feingold and Obey came through.

That's the American thing to do: Protect our seniors, honor our fallen, act for others' pursuit of happiness, and live free or die.

"The drug coverage that seniors in Wisconsin have come to know and depend on is going to stay in place," Kohl said in a statement. "The delegation stuck with it, and we got the job done."
