                HONORING THE LOUISIANA HONORAIR VETERANS

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 2008

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a 
very special group from South Louisiana.
  On May 10, 2008, a group of 97 veterans and their guardians will fly 
to Washington with a very special program. Louisiana HonorAir is 
providing the opportunity for these veterans from my home State of 
Louisiana to visit Washington, DC, on a chartered flight free of 
charge. During their visit, they will visit Arlington National Cemetery 
and the World War II Memorial. For many, this will be their first and 
only opportunity to see these sights dedicated to the great service 
they have provided for our Nation.
  Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these great 
Americans and thanking them for their unselfish service.
