                    HONORING AMERICAN HERO STAN CVAR

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, Veterans Day is right around the corner. 
In anticipation of this important holiday, I rise to recognize a 
veteran from my district whose service and patriotism has our whole 
community rallying around him.
  Stan Cvar is a World War II Navy veteran who always flies the 
American flag outside his home in Hibbing, Minnesota. Unfortunately, 
back in September, someone stole Stan's American flag from his 
property. Stan was devastated, as the flag was not just a symbol of the 
Nation he risked his life to serve but a treasured gift from his son.
  The fact that someone stole a cherished American flag from a member 
of the Greatest Generation was deeply upsetting to many in the 
northland, myself included.
  Next week, I will have the chance to personally deliver a flag that 
was flown over the United States Capitol to Stan and his family. It 
will be an honor to meet this American hero and offer him a token of 
our gratitude.
  Madam Speaker, as Veterans Day approaches, let us all remember that 
after everything our veterans have done for us, we must always ensure 
that we are standing up for them.
