bring over 100,000 Americans who fought in World War II to our Nation's

Americans. Earl Morse and Jeff Miller have devoted so much of their 
private lives to bringing great joy to Americans across this country. 
We should recognize them. We should thank them. We should remember.
  Those of us who have relatives that have fought in the military, 
those of us who appreciate those who have--on this Veterans Day week, 
let us give due credit to what brings us together as a people, our 
great sense of patriotism, our great sense of valor, and the 
appreciation we could give to those Americans who help to make the 
lives of others complete.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank you for giving me this moment to highlight what 
I will bring to the floor tomorrow. Thank you to Honor Flight. Thank 
you to the Morse and Miller families. Thank you to the Friends of the 
World War II Memorial, and thank you to all of our World War II 
veterans, their families, and descendants.
