         RECOGNIZING NOAH COUGHLAN'S FOURTH RUN ACROSS AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANDREW OGLES

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I commend Noah 
Coughlan as he passes through Nashville today on his run across 
America.
  Noah began his 167 day run to honor American soldiers and veterans on 
Memorial Day in Blaine, Washington and plans to finish on Veterans Day 
in Miami, Florida. Carrying an American flag that was flown by the 
908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, Noah has made a point of 
stopping along the way to meet with veteran's organizations, county 
sheriffs, police officers, and others who have chosen to serve our 
country. Having previously run across the country in 2011, 2013, 2015 
to raise awareness of various diseases, this will be Noah's fourth, and 
perhaps final, run across America. When he arrives in Miami, Noah will 
become the 5th person cross the United States on foot four times.
  Noah views this as a way to bring unity to the country. Calling 
veterans the glue that holds the Nation together, Noah praised them for 
not only the service they do while members of the Armed Forces, but 
also the continuing service to the country as first responders, law 
makers, and other essential roles.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Noah the best of luck on 
the rest of his run to Miami.
