                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 9, 2018

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II and Korean 
War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on May 9, 2018 with Honor 
Flight Chicago, a program that provides World War II and Korean War 
veterans the opportunity to visit their memorials on The National Mall 
in Washington, D.C. These memorials were built to honor their courage 
and service to their country.
  The American Veteran is one of our greatest treasures. The Soldiers, 
Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who traveled here on May 
9th answered our nation's call to service during one of its greatest 
times of need. From the European Campaign to the Pacific Asian Theatre 
to the African Theater, these brave Americans risked life and limb, 
gave service and sacrificed much, all while embodying what it is to be 
a hero. We owe them more gratitude than can ever be expressed.

  I welcome these brave veterans to Washington and to their memorials. 
I am proud to include in the Record the names of these men and women 
for all to see, hear, and recognize, and I call on my colleagues to 
rise and join me in expressing gratitude.
