                WE ARE FOREVER INDEBTED TO OUR VETERANS

  (Mr. BOST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the men and women who 
have proudly safeguarded the American way of life since 1776.
  Generations of veterans have protected our homeland and its 
principles against all enemies.
  These everyday American heroes are willing to give their lives to 
ensure a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.
  We are forever indebted to them.
  To the over 19 million veterans and 1.5 million Active Duty service 
personnel who hail from every corner of our Nation, we say thank you.
  To the military families whose loved ones took their last breath in 
defense of tyranny, we will never forget the sacrifices.
  This Independence Day, I will be thanking them, and I hope you will 
be as well.
  May God continue to bless this great United States of America.
