from Rep. Stephanie Herseth HERSETH STATEMENT ON ROGER ANDAL June 14, 2006, Washington, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth released the following statement in response to the news that Roger Andal, Vietnam veteran and former state commander of the Disabled American Veterans, died Tuesday at the age of 57 from complications after surgery for Crohn's disease. "I am deeply saddened by the news that my good friend Roger Andal has passed away. Roger lived a life of service to his fellow Americans. Following his tour of duty in Vietnam, Roger was one of the most tenacious and most effective advocates for veterans that South Dakota, or the nation, has ever seen. Roger's cause was righteous and his will was unyielding. But even in those tough and passionate battles on issues he cared about, he also brought a caring spirit and a ready laugh that touched all who knew him. The lives of countless veterans and their families, including my own, were improved by Roger's work, and we all have a heavy burden to carry in his absence. I send my thoughts and prayers to Roger's wife and children and all his family in this time of sorrow." #
