Steinburg said interstate development, the Mid-Cur- rituck Bridge, and helping commercial fishermen were some of the various issues they talked about. Steinburg also described Jones as a patriot deeply committed to, and affected by, military veterans. “He visited Walter Reed many, many times,” Stein burg said, referring to the military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, add ing wounded soldiers had a “tremendous impact” on Jones. Jones’ strong convic tions on foreign policy and military action overseas even caused him to disagree with leaders of the national Republican Party, Steinburg also noted. Steinburg said he and his wife, Marie, offered their prayers for Jones and his family.
