That—
George Daniel Crowe—
achieved a rarely matched record of athletic excellence at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels; and
set an example for all Hoosiers and people of the United States—
with his dogged determination and hard work;
by taking advantage of opportunities as they arose; and
by making the careers of countless people of the United States who followed him possible;
the story of George Daniel Crowe is—
the story of the United States in the 20th century;
a story of overcoming oppression;
a story of demanding what President Lincoln called the “Right to Rise”;
a story of developing talent and achieving greatness through hard work; and
a story of trying to leave the world a better place than he found it; and
on March 22, 2021, which is the 100th anniversary of his birth, the Senate recognizes George Daniel Crowe as—
a great Hoosier;
a man of respect and achievement; and
a man whose example can help guide the people of the United States.
