                    MARKING THE ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, today, June 6, marks the anniversary of 
D-day, the invasion of Normandy. It marks one of the most selfless acts 
of humanitarian love known in the history of mankind. It exemplifies a 
Nation's willingness to lay down our lives and to expend our treasure 
to free a people from brutal oppressors.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, America remains the greatest Nation on earth, and 
we have our American soldiers to thank for securing our safety, for 
securing our freedom.
  To those who marched to a near certain death that morning on a French 
sandy shoreline, we pay you tribute. We can never repay the price that 
you paid for our freedom, but we will never forget that cost that you 
paid.
  There is no greater love than this but that we lay down our lives for 
our friends.
