  Mr. COOPER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II veterans 
who are flying to Washington, DC today from Nashville, TN, with Music 
City Honor Flight. This Honor Flight is part of a nationwide effort to 
bring as many World War II veterans as possible to the memorial created 
here in honor of their service and in memorial of their fallen peers.
  Through their selflessness, the brave men and women who served in 
World War II protected our country and changed the course of history. 
We can never adequately thank them for their great sacrifice. Whether 
Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines, or Coast Guardsman, they heroically 
stood up for their Nation during a turbulent time of great need. It is 
my great privilege to welcome them the Nation's Capital and to honor 
them here today.
  I am proud to present the names of these distinguished veterans so 
that they can be recognized for their brave service and so my 
colleagues and I can express our gratitude.
