                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 2023

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II, Vietnam 
and Korean War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on May 10, 
2023 with Honor Flight Chicago, a program that provides WWII, Vietnam 
and Korean 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 May 
10th 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 Korean 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.
