Thanks for rounding out the full picture.
Reading the snopes article is enlightening, although it comes off a bit antagonistic to the man. I don't believe that it claims that he was the only parent to speak to members of the Congress; - only that his speech was quite profound and (to me), very moving.
Thank you again. Very interesting.

I agree, Mr. Scott's testimony is still eloquent and still rings very true today. The Snopes reference was just FYI.
