                          Tuesday, May 8, 2012

  Mr. COOPER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II veterans 
who have flown 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 honor of the fallen.
  Through their selflessness, these brave men and women who served in 
World War II saved our country and changed the course of history. We 
can never adequately repay them for their sacrifice. Whether Soldiers, 
Sailors, Airmen, Marines, or Coast Guardsmen, they heroically served 
their Nation during our time of greatest need. It is my high privilege 
to welcome them to the Nation's Capital.
  I am proud to read into the Congressional Record the names of each of 
these distinguished veterans so that they can be recognized for their 
brave service and so that the Congress of the United States of America 
can express its gratitude.
