     RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO TRAINED AT THE NAVAL STATION GREAT LAKES

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, when the President sought to take out 
America's most wanted and dangerous enemy, he called on an elite team 
of the United States Navy to execute the mission.
  The 10th District of Illinois is home to an important Navy base. The 
Naval Station Great Lakes is the first stop of every single Navy 
recruit. It is likely that those who executed the mission in Pakistan 
on Sunday started their training at this base. Today, I want to 
recognize those who got the job done and the outstanding training 
provided at Naval Station Great Lakes.
  I applaud the continued heroic efforts of our Armed Forces and 
intelligence personnel, and particularly those who under the cover of a 
dark Pakistan night dropped into a fortified compound to give justice 
to millions of people around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, our fight against those who want to destroy democracies 
around the world continues, but today we can press ahead as confident 
as ever in our Nation's ability to confront and triumph over evil.
