                         Wednesday, May 8, 2019

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II and 
Korean War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on May 8, 2019 
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 
8 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 acknowledge 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:
  DeWayne C. Adams; Ronald Allan; Dale A. Allen; Ralph R. Anderson; 
Robert A. Anderson; Albert A. Armellino; George T. Athanasiou; Warren 
N. Barr, Jr.; Marvin E. Becker; Robert W. Bennett.
