                     HONORING OUR NATION'S VETERANS

  (Mr. CLYDE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYDE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor our Nation's 
veterans.
  This Veterans Day we recognize those who have selflessly served our 
Nation and as well we honor the sacrifices they have made so that we 
can live in freedom in the greatest country on Earth.
  Our veterans, those living and those who have gone before us, 
represent our Nation's finest heroes. These men and women answered the 
call of duty to defend our country, preserve our peace, and protect our 
precious freedoms. Their valor, love of country, and unwavering 
commitment has ensured all Americans continue to enjoy life, liberty, 
and the pursuit of happiness.
  On Veterans Day and every day may we recognize our Nation's champions 
of liberty and honor their service by safeguarding our freedoms.
  President Ronald Reagan once said: ``Veterans know better than anyone 
else the price of freedom, for they have suffered the scars of war. We 
can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for 
us. That is our duty. They have never let America down. We will not let 
them down.''
  Madam Speaker, this Veterans Day may God bless our veterans and their 
families, and may God bless the United States of America.
