Harkin, Senators Honor Boy Scouts And Those Affected By Tragic Tornado
Senator Harkin today applauded passage late last night of a resolution he introduced with Senator Chuck Grassley and Senators Chuck Hagel and Ben Nelson of Nebraska honoring those affected by the tornado that hit the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in Little Sioux, Iowa on June 11.
"My heart goes out to those so tragically affected by the devastating tornado," Harkin said. "The Boy Scouts of America produce brave leaders and it is no surprise that these young men acted so valiantly when the disaster struck."
The senators from neighboring states delivered the resolution to the U.S. Senate to express their heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who lost their lives in the tragic events of June 11, at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in Little Sioux, Iowa: Sam Thomsen, Josh Fennen, Ben Petrzilka of Omaha, Nebraska, and Aaron Eilerts of Eagle Grove, Iowa.
