 HONORING THE MEN AND WOMEN OF TROOP B, 1-98TH CAVALRY REGIMENT OF THE 
                       MISSISSIPPI NATIONAL GUARD

  (Mr. CHILDERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CHILDERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the brave men and 
women of the Troop B, 1-98th Cavalry Regiment of the Mississippi 
National Guard.
  These soldiers of Company B, based in Booneville, Mississippi, were 
deployed in January of 2005 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After 
extensive training, Company B has loyally served our Nation in the 
past, and will leave soon to once again protect freedoms abroad.
  I would like to call attention to the very nature of the Mississippi 
National Guard and of their fellow units in Mississippi as well as in 
other States. These weekend warriors are prepared not only to serve 
abroad but to assist in domestic situations when called upon, all the 
while working everyday jobs and supporting their families.
  I thank my colleagues for keeping Troop B, 1-98th Cavalry Regiment of 
the Mississippi National Guard in their thoughts and prayers as these 
heroic men and women redeploy to the Middle East. Please join me in 
honoring Troop B 1-98th for their continuing service to America.
