With deepest sadness we offer our love to Julia Amess & family for the tragic loss of @amessd_southend . Sir David Amess was my dearest and best friend for 34 years. A loving, thoughtful servant of God and his constituents.  We lost a wonderful father, husband, friend, & patriot.

We remember today a dear friend for 33 years, UK MP Sir David Amess, as a very kind and thoughtful person whose life was taken by a terrorist one year ago. David shared his love and support to all who knew him. May God bless and be close to his dear wife Julia and the family.

I hosted Mikhail Gorbachev in Charlotte for a foreign policy speech in 1994. While reviled by Putin for dismantling the Soviet empire, his glasnost and perestroika reforms liberated hundreds of millions of people from authoritarian rule, sadly again under siege by Putin.

With deep sadness, we offer our condolences for the tragic loss of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to his family and the citizens of Japan whom he ably served. I first met him in 2013. He had a great vision for Japan and reminded me much of Ronald Reagan with his warmth and courage.

Sec. Colin Powell rose from humble beginnings to astute statesman & brilliant strategist. He used overwhelming force to achieve defined military objectives. America is safer & more secure because of him. In 1994, I had privilege of hosting him at a private dinner in Charlotte.

Sir David served on the Steering Committee of the Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum and was hosting our Forum in the U.K. Parliament June 3, 2022.  Sir David gave the opening address at our Forum in Budapest last month to 208 Parliamentarians from 54 countries.

We first met on a mission to Moscow in 1988 for persecuted Christians.
