                    HONORING THE LOUISIANA HONORAIR

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, today I wish to acknowledge and 
honor a very special group, the Louisiana HonorAir. Louisiana HonorAir 
is a not-for-profit organization that flies as many as 200 World War II 
veterans up to Washington, DC, free of charge. On October 27, 2007, a 
group of 105 veterans and their guardians will reach Washington on this 
very special program.
  While visiting Washington, DC, the veterans will tour sights, such as 
the Arlington National Cemetery, the Korean Memorial, and the World War 
II Memorial. The program provides many veterans with their only 
opportunity to see the great memorials dedicated to their service.
  Thus, today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these great 
Americans and thanking them for their devotion and service to our 
Nation.
