  Ms. LOFGREN of California. Madam Speaker, this poem is in tribute to 
Veteran's Day.

     I think of your valor,
     In being willing to take a stand for liberty,
     I am speechless,
     In light of your bravery,
     I know your type,
     Is not charmed, by show-offs, in the ranks,
     Nonetheless
     Please, lower your guard for a moment,
     And hear a grateful nation's thanks,
     It's not the battles you fight, it's signing the line, saying 
           you will.

                          ____________________
