  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the courage and 
dedication of Mr. Ira Junior Anderson.
  Mr. Anderson is a Korean war veteran who was recently recognized for 
his service and issued the Bronze Star Medal. Mr. Anderson will be 
honored on May 19, 2002 at Hardin-Central High School where he will 
also be receiving his honorary high school diploma. I feel honored to 
have Mr. Anderson living in the Sixth Congressional District of 
Missouri.
  Mr. Anderson's family members and friends should take pride in what 
he has done for this country to keep it free and strong.
  I commend Mr. Anderson for his courage and dedication and for 
allowing so many people to celebrate with him during this time. Mr. 
Anderson and other veterans like him have endured hardships and pain 
that most of us will never know. I again thank Mr. Anderson for his 
service and dedication to this great country. He makes the sixth 
district and all Americans very proud.
