                         Tuesday, June 8, 2010

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinct 
patriotic and heroic service of the Army Veterans of Delta Company, 1st 
Battalion, 501st Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, including three 
brave soldiers who lost their lives serving the United States in this 
Division. These soldiers of the United States Army made the ultimate 
sacrifice and dedicated their lives to serving the United States in 
1970 and 1971.
  The patriotism and heroism displayed by this Division are profound 
and immeasurable. They left their families and friends to fight for 
this country. They risked everything to fight for America and its 
future generations. In battle, these soldiers faced extraordinary 
circumstances and physical hardships. For this, we as a nation are 
forever in their debt and grateful for their loyalty and bravery.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
Veterans of the 101st Airborne Division for their invaluable service to 
our nation in time of war. It is my honor and privilege to pay tribute 
to these veterans and their families who proudly wore the uniform of 
their country, endured the rigors of war, and fought for our liberty 
and the freedom of future generations of Americans.
