               HONORING WORLD WAR II VETERAN DONALD BUSKA

  (Mr. DAINES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor 
Donald Buska, a Montana World War II veteran who passed away earlier 
this week.
  I had the honor to meet Donald on Monday, just a day before he passed 
away. Donald was in Washington, D.C., as part of the Big Sky Honor 
Flight, an incredible program that allows Montana veterans to travel to 
D.C. and see their memorials.
  One of the best parts of my job is meeting with these Montana 
veterans and honoring their service and their sacrifice. It is an honor 
to hear their stories, to stand with them before the memorials honoring 
their service, and to shake their hands.
  I am glad Donald was able to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime 
trip to accomplish his lifetime dream.
  Thank you, Donald, for your service. Cindy and I join all Montanans 
in saying ``thank you'' and keeping your family in our thoughts and 
prayers.
