                      WAR SURVIVOR REMEMBRANCE DAY

  (Mr. MOYLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great honor to recognize 
War Survivor Remembrance Day.
  From 1941 to 1944, Imperial Japanese soldiers occupied Guam and 
forced our ancestors through hardship and unspeakable violence that has 
left scars long after the war. In the face of darkness, it was our 
people's quiet resistance and sense of community that enabled us to 
survive.
  I thank our Greatest Generation for preserving and rebuilding our 
community on the foundation of family and cultural virtues. Words will 
never fully capture the severity or intensity of their experience, but 
know our gratitude is immense.
  As we honor this day, let us not dwell on the horrors of war, but 
rather celebrate the unwavering spirit and strength of the generation 
that carried our people through a truly difficult time. May this 
inspire future generations to do the same in the face of unspeakable 
hardship.
