                    HONORING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSS CARNAHAN

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 30, 2007

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Hispanic 
Heritage Month.
  As citizens across America celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I wish 
to recognize the hours of hard work event organizers have contributed 
in order to provide greater understanding as they share their proud 
culture.
  Especially I am reminded of the sacrifices many have made over the 
years to community and country.
  Today, our armed services continue to rely on the dedication of men 
and women from Hispanic communities throughout the Midwest and 
Missouri.
  While defending this Nation, and protecting a way of life that offers 
opportunity to Americans of varying race, they proudly serve.
  For all who remain in harm's way today, in order to secure peace at 
home, we wish them the best, and look forward to their safe return.
