  Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
our country's veterans with a poem by my constituent, Jack Richards.

             Veteran's Day for Sgt. Joshua P. Morgan, USMC

     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.
