                              VETERANS DAY

  (Mr. MONTGOMERY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, November 11, is Veterans Day, 
which means honoring all veterans who fought in all of the wars so that 
we could have this great freedom in our country today because of our 
veterans.
  Also, Mr. Speaker, tomorrow ends a 4-year celebration of the 50th 
anniversary of World War II. On November 11, here in the Washington 
area, we will honor the war dead at Arlington cemetery. Then that 
afternoon, a groundbreaking of a World War II Memorial will take place.
  Mr. Speaker, this will be a site between the Washington Monument and 
the Lincoln Memorial. It will be like the Vietnam Memorial, like the 
Korean Memorial. It will be honoring the World War II veterans that 
fought in the largest war that we ever had. November 11 is very, very 
important to the people of this country.
