                         THE MEN WHO GO TO WAR

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, in 1599 Shakespeare said this about the men who 
go to war: ``From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it 
shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he 
today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.''
  Some of those brothers from southeast Texas who shed their blood in 
Iraq were:
  Specialist Adolf C. Carballo, Houston, Army;
