  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the twenty veterans 
of the Class of 1964 from Winters High School as they celebrate their 
50th class reunion this year.
   These twenty men embody a spirit that echoes throughout Texas, a 
spirit that has made America strong. Their decision to join and serve 
is a reflection of their love for country and the understanding that 
everyone has a part to play in making our nation great. Winters High 
School wishes to honor these proud Blizzards: Kenneth Adams, United 
States Army; Adolfo Arroyo, United States Air Force (ret.); Glynn 
Awalt, National Guard; Dickie Bellis, United States Army; Alan Benson, 
United States Marine Corps; Ricky Boles, United States Army; Ronald 
Colburn, United States Army; Lynn Cornelius, United States Navy; Earl 
Green, United States Air Force; William Green, United States Army 
(ret.); B.M. Grenwelge, Jr., National Guard; Steve Grissom, United 
States Army; Gary Hester, United States Army and National Guard (ret.); 
Mike Hill, National Guard; Johnney Hopper, United States Army; Charles 
Nitsch, United States Army; Mike Mitchell, United States Army; Louis 
Simpson, United States Marine Corps; Arnold Thormeyer, United States 
Air Force; Marcelo Torres, United States Army.
   These veterans embody the qualities that are necessary to serve a 
greater good, without which, our nation could not secure life, liberty, 
and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we show our debt of gratitude for 
these men and women and the displays of greatness that have defined us 
as a nation.
   Colleagues, please join me in honoring these veterans and their 
families for their dedication and service to our great nation.
