                HONORING THE LOUISIANA HONORAIR VETERANS

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 30, 2008

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a 
very special group from South Louisiana.
  On May 3, 2008 a group of 96 veterans and their guardians will fly to 
Washington with a very special program. Louisiana HonorAir is providing 
the opportunity for these veterans from my home state of Louisiana to 
visit Washington, DC on a chartered flight free of charge. During their 
visit, they will visit Arlington National Cemetery and the World War II 
Memorial. For many, this will be their first and only opportunity to 
see these sights dedicated to the great service they have provided for 
our nation.
  Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these great 
Americans and thanking them for their unselfish service.
