                      Saturday, September 27, 2008

  Mr. MICA. Madam Speaker, today, September 27, 2008, 100 Volusia 
County veterans from the Second World War will visit our Nation's 
Capital as part of the Honor Air program. For most of these central 
Florida veterans this will be their first opportunity to see the World 
War II Memorial. As the Congressman from Florida's Seventh 
Congressional District, it will be my privilege to assist in their 
visit. As part of their mission to Washington, DC, I will join them in 
laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington 
National Cemetery to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice 
for our Nation. This will be a special occasion in the lives of our 
World War II veterans. I ask that the United States House of 
Representatives join me in recognizing Our Greatest Generation from 
Florida's Seventh Congressional District and wish them well as they 
gather in America's Capital City.
  It is my privilege to honor the service and sacrifice of those 
veterans who will be visiting our Nation's Capital on September 27, 
2008:
