                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 19, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the long awaited 
presentation of the Purple Heart to World War II veteran, and Las Vegas 
resident, Nicholas Demetrios Theodoredis. This, his second Purple 
Heart, recognizes the commitment to our great country shown by so many 
from the generation who faced the horrors of the Second World War.
  I am happy to share my thanks and congratulations for this long 
overdue tribute to the valor of Mr. Theodoredis' service in the North 
African Campaign of World War II. America has been well served by such 
men and women and will continue, with their example, to maintain its 
position as a world leader and defender of liberty.
