                 HONORING THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, as a 24-year Army veteran, I rise 
today in honor of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a day etched in the 
annals of American valor and sacrifice.
  It was on the shores of Normandy that our brave troops, with hearts 
full of patriotism and determination, stormed the beaches to confront 
tyranny head-on.
  Let us remember those courageous souls who gave everything for the 
cause of freedom. Their bravery and unwavering spirit embodies the very 
essence of what it means to be an American.
  As we reflect on this anniversary, let us reignite the flames of 
patriotism within our hearts. Let us stand united in our commitment to 
uphold the principles of liberty and justice for which they have fought 
so gallantly.
  Today, we honor their legacy by reaffirming our dedication to the 
ideals that made America great. Let us pledge to never falter in our 
defense of freedom and to always remember the sacrifices made on that 
fateful day.
  God bless America, and may we forever cherish the memory of our 
heroes.
