[[Page 11001]]

Hometown Fiddlers. This talented youth organization is the only musical 
group from the state of Nevada that will be performing at the 
dedication of the WWII Memorial.
  Mr. Speaker, these young musicians will truly be honoring our 
veterans and fallen heroes, including those that died in wars past, and 
those that have died recently in the war with Iraq. The Boulder City 
Hometown Fiddlers will also be paying tribute to one of Nevada's own, 
Corporal Matthew Commons, of Boulder City. Corporal Commons was killed 
while serving in Afghanistan.
  They will represent the Silver State and all those within its borders 
who wish to pay tribute to those brave men and women who gave their 
lives in the name of freedom and democracy. It is with great honor that 
I stand here today and recognize this group of fine musicians as they 
convey our honor, respect, and gratitude to all those that died and 
risked their lives for their country.
