Washington, D.C.–U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the following statement regarding the news of the passing of General Colin Powell:
“General Colin Powell was a venerated public servant. His service as a four-star general, the first African-American Secretary of State and the first African-American Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff left an indelible mark on American national security policy and diplomacy. General Powell earned immense respect at home and abroad–as evidenced by receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice. He will be greatly missed. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
