Klobuchar, Franken Introduce Senate Resolution to Honor Life of Jacob Wetterling and Advocacy of Wetterling Family

Statement

U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken have introduced a Senate resolution honoring the life of Jacob Wetterling and the advocacy of the Wetterling family on behalf of missing and exploited children.

"Patty Wetterling is a woman of unbelievable courage, who for years has turned her grief into action," said Klobuchar. "Through her family's advocacy on behalf of missing and exploited children, many lives have been saved in Jacob's memory. This resolution will honor the life of Jacob while also recognizing the Wetterling family's strength, courage, and grace."

"The people of Minnesota are heartbroken for Patty and Jerry Wetterling, the rest of Jacob's family, and for all of his friends," said Franken. "We are in your corner and always will be. Minnesota left the porch lights on for Jacob for 27 years, and now, we hope that this resolution will both honor Jacob and also remember the sacrifice and strength of the entire Wetterling family to take their grief and use it to help other families and children."
