                         Tuesday, June 4, 2019

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II, Korean 
War, and Vietnam War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on June 
5, 2019 with Honor Flight Chicago, a program that provides World War 
II, Korean War, and Vietnam 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 June 
5th 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.
