Joe Biden
Mr. President, on another August day, 50 years ago, a battle patrol -- part of the 3d Infantry Division of the 7th Regiment, United States Army -- landed at a place in southern France, known on that day and ever after as "Red Beach." The advance platoon was involved in one of the most difficult missions of the second wave invasion of occupied Europe, Operation Anvil-Dragon, to clear the mined beach, and to destroy heavily fortified enemy positions, for the amphibious vehicles that would follow ashore.

Shortly after the landing, the platoon's lieutenant and sergeant were killed. Command fell on the shoulders of a 25-year-old draftee, a graduate of St. Mary's Commercial School in his home town of Wilmington, DE, a leather worker by trade. In the 3 years since he had been drafted, he had made sergeant himself, and now, with a 36-man platoon that was reduced ultimately to just seven soldiers, with no senior or career officers, James P. Connor took command on Red Beach.

Sergeant Connor inspired his outmanned and outgunned troops to continue the fight, and to believe that they could -- and would -- win. He was wounded three times, but even when he could no longer stand, Sergeant Connor refused medical treatment and continued to issue orders and to push his troops forward. He was heard to shout, "They can hit me, but they can't stop me." The platoon of 7 reached the enemy position and captured 40 Germans. The beach was secured in 3 hours.

For his uncommon valor -- for his heroism -- Sgt. James P. Connor received the Medal of Honor, one of only two citizens of our small State to earn that highest of all military recognitions in the 20th century. Sergeant Connor's citation hailed his driving spirit, by which he had practically carried the platoon, through mines and gunfire, to the successful completion of its mission.

After his discharge from the Army in 1945, Jim Connor returned home to Delaware. He got married and raised a family, four sons. He started a new job with the Veterans Administration, where he worked until his retirement, helping others who had also served our Nation in uniform. He lived, as he had before 1941, and like so many of his neighbors and friends, what we too often think of as just a regular, productive, law- abiding citizen.

When James P. Connor died last week at the age of 75, his wife said, simply but profoundly, that he had been a private person. Although his Medal of Honor gave him opportunities -- deserved opportunities -- to be in the spotlight, Jim Connor was never comfortable there. Like so many in the World War II generation, he felt that he had simply done his job, done what he was supposed to do as an ordinary American citizen, and an ordinary American citizen was all he ever wanted to be.

Mr. Connor personified the kind of character, the kind of values, that are incompatible with self-promotion. He was the kind of patriot who does not seek applause or reward, but serves out of a genuine and instinctive sense of duty, and with a sense of obligation to those who died in their own service to our Nation. He was, not only during those 3 hours on Red Beach but for all the years of his life that followed, the embodiment of the lessons taught so well by his generation.

It is the lesson that liberty and the blessings it allows cannot be taken for granted by those who enjoy them, that the defense of freedom and its integrity must always be the mission of ordinary Americans. It is the lesson that our best remembrance of, and highest tribute to, those who have served and sacrificed for us lies not in the words we say when the spotlight is on us, but in the lives we live every day.

Our highest tribute is to refuse to abandon the faith in our common purpose that led Sergeant James P. Connor to shout, "they can't stop me"; to refuse to abandon the belief in one another -- the belief and the trust -- that inspired that platoon of seven to keep fighting together, that made a hero out of Jim Connor, and so many other, ordinary Americans; to refuse to abandon the dream whose value we feel instinctively, the dream of America.

Our highest tribute is to build this country and our communities, to build lives like that of a private and ordinary man named Jim Connor, whose dedication to family, friends and fellow citizens made him a hero every day of his life. To be worthy of such extraordinary ordinary citizens, who by their driving spirit carry us toward our promise as a people, we must continue to keep the faith in our common purpose, and to build the hope, the belief in one another, the dream.

Someone once said that, "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." We will mourn the death of James P. Connor, for a very long time, but the celebration of Jim Connor's life -- of what he did for us, and for his family and friends -- will never end.

We extend our sympathies to Mr. Connor's wife of 48 years, Elizabeth Chlepciak Connor, to their 4 sons, James, Donald, Jeffrey and Michael, to his sister, Dorothy Brown, and to the 8 grandchildren whom he no doubt would claim as his dearest legacy. In doing so, we honor a private man whose courage and character in service to us all reminded us that the ranks of our history's heroes are filled by ordinary Americans. May we always keep this Nation worthy of such citizens.
