  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, today is the 62nd anniversary of D-Day--
the allied landings in Normandy which began the liberation of Europe 
from the control of Nazi Germany.
  Earlier today, I spoke at a commissioning ceremony for ROTC cadets. I 
am proud to have had the opportunity to welcome these young, 
enthusiastic students into the ranks of our military. In my speech, I 
reminded the newly commissioned officers of the sacrifices made by 
generations of American military officers on behalf of our Nation, the 
importance of living up to the legacy of our fathers and grandfathers, 
and the importance of honor, duty, God and country.
  I believe each of these new officers will make our country proud.
