Statement on the Death of Zachary Fisher,
June 4, 1999
Hillary and I are saddened to hear of the death of Zachary Fisher. The brave men and women of the United States military have lost a true friend, and America has lost a true patriot.
Over the years, thousands of military families were touched by Mr. Fisher’s generosity: he provided scholarships for college; built "Fisher Houses" near military and VA hospitals so that families could be close to sick or injured loved ones; and established New York’s Intrepid Museum so that future generations could be inspired by America’s military history.
Through these good works, Mr. Fisher helped all Americans repay the tremendous debt we owe to the men and women who every day risk their lives to defend our Nation and advance the cause of freedom around the world. I was proud to present him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom last fall. Mr. Fisher’s memory will continue to inspire all Americans.
Hillary and I send our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
