                          BRING THEM HOME NOW

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, holding tightly to her 
stuffed animal as long as she could, Hila, an innocent 13-year-old 
young Israeli girl, was taken hostage and endured a horrible experience 
in Hamas captivity. As the father of three boys, hearing her story and 
others was heart-wrenching.
  Hila Rotem Shoshani spent 50 days in captivity after being kidnapped 
from her home in Kibbutz Be'eri, along with her mother and friend 
Emily, who was at a sleepover.
  Young Hila saw and experienced things that no child should ever have 
to. It has been over 100 days, and the families left behind direly want 
their loved ones home. No family should

have to endure the anguish and separation and the uncertainty that 
Hila, her mother, and other families have experienced.
  Bring them home now.
