                HONORING THE LOUISIANA HONORAIR VETERANS

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 2009

  Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a 
very special group from Northwest Louisiana.
  On May 16, 2009 a group of 104 veterans and their guardians flew to 
Washington with a very special program. Louisiana HonorAir is providing 
the opportunity for these Louisiana veterans to visit Washington, DC on 
a chartered flight, free of charge. For many, this will be the first 
and only opportunity to visit the memorials created in their honor. 
These brave men and women, from my home state of Louisiana, deserve the 
thanks of a grateful nation for everything they have sacrificed for our 
freedom.
  Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these great 
Americans and thank them for their unselfish service.
