  HONORING MADELENE MACIAS, JACK A. LOPEZ, CLYDE A. LOPEZ, AND MANUEL 
                                 MACIAS

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, all gave some and some made the ultimate 
sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor The American Legion volunteer 
Madelene Macias and her three brothers, Jack Lopez, Clyde Lopez, and 
Manuel Macias.
  All of Madelene's brothers served honorably and fought in some of our 
Nation's toughest battles. Private First Class Jack Lopez was a 
technician, Clyde Lopez served in World War II, and Staff Sergeant 
Manuel Macias served in the Vietnam war.
  Jack Lopez was tragically killed in action in Okinawa, and Madelene 
reached out to my office to make sure he was honored 77 years later. 
Mr. Lopez's ultimate sacrifice earned him our country's recognition 
with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Madelene for her commitment to our country and 
our community. I thank each of her brothers for their service and 
sacrifice for this great Nation.
