Vice President Dick Cheney delivers remarks, Thursday, August 2, 2007, at a memorial Service for former Representative Guy A. Vander Jagt at the U.S. Capitol. "From the first days of the 90th Congress to the last days of the 102nd, Guy Vander Jagt was a standout member of this House," said Vice President Cheney. "I'd wager that each of his colleagues, and each person in this room today, can recall a time when Guy did something especially generous or considerate just for us. For my part, there are many."
