                    NATIONAL POW/MIA RECOGNITION DAY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today is National POW/MIA 
Recognition Day, a day to remember the brave men and women who served 
their country and have not returned home.
  Currently, there are more than 80,000 American servicemembers who are 
still missing and remain unaccounted for from World War II, the Korean 
War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and the Gulf wars.
  Our servicemembers answered the call to protect and defend our 
country in times of war and in times of peace. We have a sacred compact 
with the men and women who serve, and we will never stop searching for 
the ones who remain missing and unaccounted for until they are returned 
to their loved ones.
  That is why today I reintroduced a resolution that urges our trading 
partners to aid in the search and recovery efforts of our Nation's 
missing servicemembers.
  Mr. Speaker, we will never stop searching until all our 
servicemembers are brought home. They and their loved ones deserve no 
less.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
