Sept. 1 marked the 40th anniversary of the death of Sen. Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson. He served the state of Washington and our country in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1941 to 1953 and the U.S. Senate from 1953 to 1983. He was a true statesman the likes of which we don’t hear of in today’s news. Instead of “playing to his base,” Scoop, like others of his era, worked across the aisle to benefit the country. He was a champion of protecting human rights and protecting the environment, while being a true defender of freedom advocating a strong military to protect against tyrannical states that still exist today.
