  Mr. FOX of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, mothers have born the armies of 
war throughout history. Whether a victorious or defeated Nation, these 
Gold Star Mothers have lost their sons and daughters for our Nations' 
defense.
  We must offer the gratefulness of this Nation for the sacrifices of 
mothers all, who have given us our freedoms through their childrens' 
lost lives.
  God bless them and we humbly offer our tears and humility as a 
Nation. God bless them and we also humbly offer our thankfulness and 
gratitude.
  God love and protect them all and we pray no more lives lost; no more 
war.
