                        Thursday, March 1, 2007

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am pleased that 
yesterday a resident of South Carolina's Second Congressional District, 
Brian Bohlman of Columbia, had the honor of meeting with President 
George W. Bush at the White House. Chaplain Bohlman was 1 of 11 leaders 
of military service organizations with whom the President met.
  Chaplain Bohlman is founder and president of Operation Thank You and 
the So Help Me God Project. The mission of these organizations is to 
inspire faith, promote patriotism, and support our troops through 
inspirational and patriotic resources honoring God, Country, and 
family. Specifically, the Operation Thank You Project is working to 
have 150,000 cards signed for our troops.
  Chaplain Bohlman has served in the U.S. Armed Forces since 1992 and 
is currently a chaplain in the Air National Guard. He also authored the 
best-selling book, So Help Me God: A Reflection on the Military Oath. 
It is an honor to represent this true American hero. He is making a 
positive difference encouraging and supporting our troops.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
