            60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 60th 
anniversary of the United States Air Force.
  Time and again, the brave men and women of the United States Air 
Force have answered the call of duty to serve and protect this great 
Nation. It's because of them that we have the best Air Force in the 
world, and they will continue to expand that legacy of true excellence 
and air dominance.
  As a 29-year Air Force veteran, it's my honor to congratulate them on 
60 years of exemplary service and wish them many more years of air 
superiority to come.
  They all are shining examples of ``service before self,'' one core 
motto of the Air Force. They protect the safety and security of all 
U.S. citizens.
  As they say in our song, ``Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force.''
  God bless all the men and women of the United States Air Force. I 
salute you.
