HUNGARIAN AMERICAN COALITION HONORS VICTIMS OF
COMMUNISM WORLDWIDE
Washington Ceremony Pays Tribute to Congressman Tom Lantos

June 19, 2008

Washington, DC - On June 12, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation hosted a historic event attended by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and many other distinguished participants from Capitol Hill and Washington's diplomatic corps. The wreath-laying ceremony at the Victims of Communism Memorial featured speakers: Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI); Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH); Rep. Steve King (R-IA); Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV); Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY); Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and former Rep. Don Ritter (R-PA). Each speaker recalled the terrible human cost of decades of communist rule in Europe and Asia, and paid tribute to Congressman Lantos’ unwavering opposition to totalitarianism.

California Congressman Tom Lantos, who passed away on February 11, 2008, was awarded the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom posthumously during the ceremony. The Medal is given to individuals who have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to freedom and democracy and opposition to Communism and tyranny.
