                       Thursday, October 28, 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 27, 2021 with Honor Flight Chicago, a program that provides 
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, 
Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who traveled here on 
October 27th 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 men and women 
for all to see, hear, and recognize, and I call on my colleagues to 
rise and join me in expressing gratitude.
