                     Wednesday, September 12, 2018

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II and Korean 
War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on September 12, 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 
September 12th 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.
