                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 3, 2011

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the World War II 
veterans from my district who are traveling to Washington, DC, with 
Honor Flight Chicago, a program whose goal is to provide as many World 
War II veterans as possible the opportunity to see the World War II 
Memorial here in Washington, DC, a memorial that was built to honor 
their courage and service.
  The American veteran is one of our greatest treasures. The Soldiers, 
Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen traveling here today 
answered our nation's call to service during one of its greatest times 
of need. From the European Campaign to the Pacific Asian Theatre to the 
African Theater, these brave Americans risked life and limb, gave 
service and sacrificed much, all while embodying what it is to be a 
hero. We owe them more gratitude than can ever be expressed.
  I welcome these brave veterans to Washington and to their memorial. I 
am proud to submit the names of these men and women for all to see, 
hear, and recognize, and I call on my colleagues to rise and join me in 
expressing gratitude.
