                  HONORING VETERANS AND SERVICEMEMBERS

  (Mr. GIANFORTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our liberties, 
our freedoms, and our precious way of life.
  Montanans are a proud and patriotic people who always answer the call 
to serve their Nation. They are mothers and fathers, brothers and 
sisters, sons

and daughters. Some did not return from the theater of conflict, giving 
their lives for our country and our liberty.
  I extend my heartfelt gratitude to them and to their families. We owe 
them a debt we can never fully repay, as much as we try.
  As we mark Memorial Day, we pray for the families of the veterans 
whose sacrifices have secured our freedoms, and we give thanks for the 
blessings of life and liberty, peace and prosperity that their service 
has secured for all of us.
