As we read this article in light of the recent passing of Teddy, a question that comes to my mind. What actual sacrifices has the “Liberal Lion of the Senate” ever made in his life for anyone else, much less his country? I’m not talking about getting a bill into law to force other people to pay for things, I’m talking about personal sacrifices that he himself made?

very good point...i wonder how many other than 1 that we know went thru hell for his country would take a stand as the original 56 did....i dare say none....

He sacrificed what would of normally been a slender build for the sake of gluttony/alcoholism.

Does that count?

He got his clothes wet one time?

Two years in the US Army during the Korean War. But the Lion was stationed in Paris.
