                       Thursday, October 21, 2021

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II, Korean 
War, and Vietnam War Veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on 
October 6, 2021 with HerStory Honor Flight, a program that provides 
women World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans the 
opportunity to visit their memorials on The National Mall in 
Washington, D.C. These memorials were built to honor their courage and 
service to their country.
  The American Veteran is one of our greatest treasures. The Soldiers, 
Airwomen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardswomen who traveled here on 
October 6th answered our nation's call to service during one of its 
greatest times of need. From the European Campaign to the Pacific Asian 
Theatre to the African Theater, 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 women for all to 
see, hear, and recognize, and I call on my colleagues to rise and join 
me in expressing gratitude.
