                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 1996

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, the Filipino veterans of World War II hold a 
special place in the hearts of the American people. Many stood shoulder 
to shoulder with American forces on Bataan, Corregidor, and Luzon. We 
remember their brave sacrifices--in battle and out of battle--on behalf 
of freedom. Their actions will forever stand as a model of courage, 
bravery, and total commitment.
  The Second World War was a tragic time for the world. Only through 
the patience and bravery of those who fought for freedom did we achieve 
victory. The Filipino veterans of World War II were strong participants 
in that fight. May we always remember their sacrifices made to preserve 
democracy and freedom.
  It was a fitting tribute to those wonderful supporters of freedom 
that yesterday this House unanimously passed House Concurrent 
Resolution 191.
