  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor all the World War II 
veterans, but especially our distinguished guests from the Honor Flight 
Chicago Program. This noble program enables hundreds of Veterans from 
the Chicago area to come visit the memorial built to honor their great 
service and courage, and I have the great privilege of welcoming them 
to Washington DC.
  We all have a special appreciation for our veterans because we know 
the sacrifices they made to protect us and bring peace to a world 
ravaged by war. These servicemen answered our nation's call during one 
of its greatest times of need. 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 our deepest gratitude and thanks for 
protecting and ensuring our future.
  I welcome these brave veterans to Washington and to their memorial. I 
am proud to submit the names of these men for all to see, hear, 
recognize, and I call on my colleagues to rise and join me in 
expressing thanks.
