          RECOGNIZING THE 100TH GREATER ST. LOUIS HONOR FLIGHT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 3, 2022

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Greater 
St. Louis Honor Flight on their 100th flight and thank them for 
honoring our veterans in such a meaningful way. Organizations like the 
Honor Flight Network let Missouri veterans know how truly grateful we 
are for service and sacrifice in the name of freedom.
  The Honor Flight Network has been flying veterans from the Greater 
St. Louis Area to Washington DC since 2008, allowing those who 
protected our great country to see the grand memorials erected in their 
honor. On November 1st the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight completed its 
100th flight. It is now one of only two chapters in the country to 
reach that milestone. Missouri's 3rd District is the proud home of 
thousands of veterans. While we can never thank our heroes enough for 
what they've done for each and every one of us, programs like the Honor 
Flight do a great job of reminding them how much we value their service 
and of our dedication to honoring them now and far into the future.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Greater St. Louis 
Honor Flight on their 100th flight.
