                        Thursday, July 25, 2019

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 206th 
Engineer Battalion of the Kentucky National Guard, which is deploying 
to assist the U.S. Central Command Area of Operations.
  While I am sorry I cannot be with them at today's deployment 
ceremony, I express my profound gratitude to them for embarking on this 
mission to serve the United States of America. We are blessed to live 
in the greatest country in the world. America is truly the land of the 
free and the home of the brave--all because of men and women like them 
who have answered the call to serve. The entire Commonwealth of 
Kentucky is proud of them and behind them during this mission. I join 
everyone in Owensboro in praying for their safety, and I look forward 
to welcoming them home.
