    RECOGNIZING THE VETERANS AT ARKANSAS HOSPICE AT CHI ST. VINCENT 
                                HOSPITAL

 Mr. COTTON. Mr. President, I hereby recognize the military 
veterans currently residing at the Arkansas Hospice at CHI St. Vincent 
Hospital in Little Rock, AR, as well as the caregivers, staff, and 
volunteers at CHI St. Vincent who also served their country in uniform, 
and their families who have made their own sacrifices in support of our 
troops.
  These men and women put their lives on the line in defense of our 
freedom and our values. They have kept America safe. They have defended 
our Constitution and our freedom. They have saved lives. They have gone 
abroad and waged war not to conquer, loot, and pillage, but to liberate 
and to secure ``a just, and a lasting peace'' with our fellow man, in 
the words of the President who commanded over our most awful war.
  Our veterans served their country with courage, pride, and 
distinction. We owe them a debt of gratitude that we can never fully 
repay. Now, as many of the veterans at CHI St. Vincent are approaching 
their final moments of life, let us honor them and the cause for which 
they fought.
