  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
100th anniversary of the 1st Cavalry Division.
  Formed in 1921, the division is based at Fort Hood, Texas, which I am 
proud to represent in Congress.
  This 1st Cavalry division is unique in that they have worn many hats 
over the years--they have served in cavalry, infantry, assault, and 
armored capacities.
  The honorable men and women of the 1st Cav have served in many of our 
nation's wars; World War II, the Korean War, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, 
and in Afghanistan--and they have exhibited extraordinary grit and an 
unwavering commitment to duty above self.
  In all that they do, they have honorably answered the call to serve 
our country and defend freedom and liberty around the world.
  It is my great honor to recognize their contributions and thank them 
for their 100 years of enduring service, duty, patriotism, and bravery.
  In God we trust.
