                     THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I want to share with the American people a 
poem a written by a Marine Corps officer. It is about two former Navy 
SEALs: Ben Doherty and Ty Woods. They were killed in Benghazi. It is 
called ``The Battling Boys of Benghazi'':

     We're the battling boys of Benghazi! No fame, no glory, no 
           paparazzi.
     Just a fiery death in a blazing hell, defending our country 
           we loved so well.
     It wasn't our job, but we answered the call, fought to the 
           Consulate and scaled the wall.
     We pulled 20 countrymen from the jaws of fate. Led them to 
           safety, and stood at the gate.
     Just the two of us, and foes by the score, but we stood fast 
           to bar the door.
     Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
     So we fought, and we fought, and we fought `til we died.
     We gave our all for our Uncle Sam, but our leaders didn't 
           give a damn.
     Just two dead SEALs, who carried the load, no thanks to us, 
           we were just ``Bumps in the Road.''

  These two Navy SEALs did their jobs. Let's do our jobs and bring 
those thugs who killed them to justice
