           HONORING AMERICA'S FALLEN IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Emanuel) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. EMANUEL. Mr. Speaker, we recently marked a sad milestone in the 
war in Iraq, as the number of Americans fallen surpassed 2,500. We owe 
it to each of these families to do everything we can to honor the debt 
of gratitude we owe them, a debt that can never be fully repaid.
  Over the past year, I have led 20 other Members of Congress from both 
parties in reading the names of the fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan into 
the Congressional Record.
  In the words of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, each of these 
heroes stands in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die 
that freedom might live and grow and increase in its blessing.
  God bless and keep each of the brave Americans whose memory we honor
