            HONORING THE CHILDREN OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the work being done 
by the Children of the American Revolution, Lake Minnetonka. They're 
hosting a pancake breakfast to raise money for their grant programs to 
teach kids about the real meaning of the Fourth of July. Their mission 
is to train good citizens, develop leaders, and to promote a love of 
the United States of America and its heritage.
  The Lake Minnetonka chapter recently gave a grant to Our Military 
Kids, a nonprofit that provides tuition assistance for art, sports, and 
music camps to children of parents that are deployed overseas or 
recovering from serious injury. They're also presenting the first 
donation for a memorial that's planned for the Minnesota State capitol 
grounds that pays tribute to all family members of all men and women, 
past and present, who have served our country in uniform.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the children of the American 
Revolution, and I encourage all of us to remember those who serve this 
great Nation as we approach the Fourth of July.
