     TRIBUTE TO OUR MILITARY AND VETERANS AT CORNERSTONE CHURCH IN 
                       SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, I had the opportunity to speak at 
Cornerstone Church in Salisbury, North Carolina. The service was a 
tribute to America, our military, and our veterans, and it was an 
uplifting experience.
  Cornerstone was founded over 20 years ago. The first service had 12 
attendees, five of whom were related to the founding pastor, Bill 
Godair. Pastor Godair continues as lead pastor and seeks to use the 
ministry to attack racism and poverty. The church is growing and serves 
the people of Salisbury without regard to age, race, or political 
affiliation.
  Mr. Speaker, it was refreshing to join the congregation at 
Cornerstone and pay tribute to our men and women who serve or have 
served in our Armed Forces.
  As the scriptures tell us in John 15:13:

       Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life 
     for one's friends.
