"My good friend Congressman Spencer Bachus and I, along with the entire Alabama delegation, plan to ask this august body to bestow, on a bipartisan basis, its highest civilian honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, to the four little girls who tragically lost their lives during the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. We believe it is befitting that during this year, 2013, we posthumously pay tribute to Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Denise McNair, for they have truly paid the ultimate sacrifice."

"This year’s dinner was a very special one. The organization’s president, James A. Holt, Congressman Spencer Bachus, Congresswoman Terri Sewell, and others took part in the excellent program. I was honored to be a part of the program also. The superb keynote speaker was RADM Tom Steffens (retired), a U.S. Navy SEAL for 34 years. It was a special program indeed, but the remarks all revolved around Colonel Voigt. I know he and his wonderful family were most proud."
