                     Wednesday, September 18, 2019

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II, Korean 
War, and Vietnam War veterans who traveled to Washington, DC on 
September 18, 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, DC. 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 18th answered our nation's call to service during several of 
its greatest times of need. Across the world, 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.
