                      Thursday, November 19, 2009

  Mr. ORTIZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 211th 
Regional Support Group from Corpus Christi, Texas, for their tireless 
efforts to ensure the security and well being of not only the country 
of Iraq but the United States as well.
  Deployed on December 1, 2008, this unit worked in the face of grave 
danger and performed in an exemplary fashion in the management of 
installation and camp activities.
  Sixty members of this unit will be returning to my district on 
Saturday, November 21, and it is my honor and privilege to welcome them 
home.
  Our Reservists put their lives on hold, to fulfill the duties asked 
of them. I have the greatest respect for our service men and women who 
selflessly disregard their own safety in order to voluntarily serve our 
country.
  Today, I ask that my colleagues join me in commemorating the 211th 
Regional Support Group of Corpus Christi, Texas, for their service to 
this nation.

                          ____________________
