HON. RANDY HULTGREN
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Monday, September 12, 2011
Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor all the World War II
veterans, but especially our distinguished guests from the Honor Flight
Chicago program. This noble program enables hundreds of Veterans from
the Chicago area to come visit the memorial built to honor their great
service and courage, and I have the great privilege of welcoming them
to Washington DC.
We all have a special appreciation for our veterans because we know
the sacrifices they made to protect us and bring peace to a world
ravaged by war. These servicemen answered our nation's call during one
of its greatest times of need. These brave Americans risked life and
limb, gave service and sacrificed much, all while embodying what it is
to be a hero. We owe them our deepest gratitude and thanks for
protecting and ensuring our future.
I welcome these brave veterans to Washington and to their memorial. I
am proud to submit the names of these men for all to see, hear,
recognize and I call on my colleagues to rise and join me in expressing
thanks.
