                         HONORING OUR VETERANS

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, on Veterans Day, we remember the devotion 
of the brave men and women of the military who have honorably served 
our Nation. Our veterans have fought to preserve this Nation, its 
ideals, democracy, freedom, and prosperity.
  American veterans not only have helped maintain the rights that were 
established by our Founding Fathers, but they have also set an example 
of enduring patriotism, returning home to become leaders in their 
communities, States, and Nation. Back home, they have helped advance 
our country by embodying the American spirit of hard work and 
preservation.
  Today, we acknowledge these men and women who have served our Nation 
as members of our military. We thank them for their many contributions 
to our country. We remember in prayer those men and women who never 
returned home from foreign soil.
