  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Mary Nell 
Chew of Carbondale, Illinois, for her significant contribution to the 
Veterans Honor Flight of Southern Illinois, a program that honors 
veterans with a free trip to Washington, D.C. to visit their monuments 
and memorials.
  As a testament to her dedication to the brave men and women who have 
served our country, Mrs. Chew made the gracious decision to help fund 
the travel of many Southern Illinois heroes on their trip to 
Washington.
  The daughter and wife of veterans herself, she understands what it 
means for veterans to visit the nation's capital and honor all the 
brave men and women who have served our country. By sponsoring an 
entire flight herself, Mrs. Chew has allowed 90 veterans from across 
generations to make this trip.
  Madam Speaker, please join me honoring Mrs. Mary Nell Chew for her 
generosity and dedication to our nation's veterans.

                          ____________________
