                 HONORING NEW HAMPSHIRE NATIONAL GUARD

  (Mr. GUINTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GUINTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
3rd Battalion, 197th Field Artillery Regiment of the New Hampshire Army 
National Guard. This week, they deploy to the Central Command area of 
responsibility in support of Operation Spartan Shield.
  To the 370-some Granite Staters who are deploying, and also your 
families who are constantly supporting you, thank you for your service, 
your commitment, and your sacrifice.
  As the first Army National Guard unit to support this artillery 
mission, you carry forward the National Guard's mantra, ``Always Ready, 
Always There.''
  As my two children, Colby and Jack, join me on the House floor, I am 
reminded of how grateful I am to you--and the rest of our soldiers, 
sailors, airmen, and marines--for protecting our country, our safety, 
and our liberties. You are the very best our Nation has to offer. The 
Granite State and our Nation are forever indebted to you.
