            BUFFALO-NIAGARA HONOR FLIGHT RECOGNIZES VETERANS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
veterans of Potter, McKean, and Warren Counties who flew to Washington, 
D.C. on Saturday, April 15 as part of the Buffalo-Niagara Honor Flight.
  The Buffalo-Niagara Honor Flight is part of the National Honor Flight 
Network, which ``recognizes United States veterans for their sacrifices 
and their achievements by flying them to Washington to see the 
memorials at no cost to the veteran.''
  Honor Flights prioritize World War II veterans, Korean war, and 
Vietnam veterans, and veterans with medical issues requiring special 
attention. Honor Flight guardians fly with each veteran on every flight 
helping them have a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience.
  In patriotic spirit, Bradford Area High School welcomed participating 
veterans for lunch, a celebration, and community escort on Friday 
before the flight.
  This month, the following veterans from Potter, McKean, and Warren 
Counties made the flight: Ronald Bosworth, Richard Dugan, Robert 
Langfitt, and Donald Shinn, all of whom served bravely in the Vietnam 
war.
  We honor and thank these brave men and women for their service to our 
country and the communities they call home.
