Shaheen, Graham Bipartisan Resolution Honoring the Life and Legacy of James Foley, Commemorating the 10 Year Anniversary of Brutal Murder by ISIS Passes Senate

"Ten years ago, James Foley, a journalist and Granite Stater, was horrifically and senselessly murdered by ISIS terrorists. His death should not overshadow his incredible life, and that's why I'm glad the Senate passed this bipartisan resolution commemorating his life, legacy and dedication to reporting the truth," said Shaheen. "In her son's honor, Diane Foley established the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation and has carried on his memory by fighting for Americans wrongfully detained or taken hostage abroad. The Foundation's work has helped change how the U.S. government responds to such cases. Thanks to Diane's leadership and courage, so many Americans have been reunited with their families."
