MedTech-IQ ... Deeply Saddened at the Passing of Congressman John Murtha

Colleagues,

We at MedTech-IQ were deeply saddened today to learn about the passing of Congressman John Murtha. Congressman Murtha was a steadfast advocate for the people of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years. His passion for service was born of his decorated career in the United States Marine Corps. He went on to earn the distinction of being the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress.
He was among the country's most respected voices on U.S. national security.

Congressman Murtha's tough-as-nails reputation was well earned. He exhibited an unstinting devotion to the people he represented in rural Pennsylvania. He was also inexhaustible in his commitment to supporting the development of constantly improving medical technology for U.S. military service members and veterans. Our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his wife of nearly 55 years, Joyce, their three children, and the entire Murtha family.
