                        Wednesday, May 16, 2018

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of a grateful nation, I 
wish III Corps a happy birthday for its first century of brave service. 
Since its birth in 1918, `America's Hammer' has never faltered in 
defending freedom and upholding the U.S. Army's reputation as the 
world's elite fighting force.
  From day one, this historic corps has been comprised of brave men and 
women who have selflessly devoted themselves to a greater good. When 
forces of tyranny threaten the world, when the oppressed are in danger 
of losing hope, when duty calls, the Phantom Warriors of III Corps 
stand ready. Over the decades, their mission has remained the same: be 
prepared to rapidly deploy and conduct the full spectrum of military 
operations to defeat any adversary.
  I am proud to stand alongside III Corps as they continue to defend 
freedom, accomplish any mission, and leave a legacy for future 
generations to follow. III Corps' 100 years of excellence represents 
America at its very best.

                          ____________________
