More than two dozen members of the U.S. House attended a memorial service for Alaska Congressman Don Young at a church in Great Falls, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. where Young lived for much of his 49 years in office.
“For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Dawn Vallely. But I was Dawn Young when I was little, so just imagine growing up like that,” she said.
“And I looked up at my mother with my tear-stained little face and I said, ‘I want my daddy,'” she recalled at the service. “He had got on a plane and he had flown all night because his very bratty 11-year-old daughter said the words, ‘I want my daddy,’” she said.Young died March 18, at age 88.
