                   HONORING OUR WORLD WAR II VETERANS

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to welcome to 
Washington, DC, a special group of World War II veterans from Georgia's 
Sixth District. These proud patriots are here for one remarkable day as 
part of the Honor Flight Program.
  Thanks to the generosity of the Roswell Rotary Club, these men and 
women will have the opportunity to visit the stirring World War II 
memorial built in their honor and to pay their respect to fallen 
comrades at Arlington National Cemetery.
  As young Americans, these proud patriots showed courage and 
compassion, answering the call to serve at a time of great need. 
Through amazing sacrifice, they are responsible for the preservation of 
our treasured American way of life. Our community is extremely proud to 
be home to so many of the brave veterans who fought for freedom at a 
critical moment in our history.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Georgia's Sixth District, I offer our 
deepest appreciation. And I know that my colleagues will join me in 
welcoming our veterans to our Nation's capital and thanking them, these 
soldiers of the greatest generation, for their invaluable service.
