                 AIR FORCE CELEBRATES 68TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. GRAHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. GRAHAM. Mr. Speaker, this week, we are celebrating a very special 
birthday; the United States Air Force is turning 68.
  The anniversary is especially important to me because of the men and 
women I represent at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City.
  Since my election to Congress, I have gotten to know a great many of 
them, from three star generals to newly enlisted airmen, and I could 
not be prouder of their service to our Nation.
  Today, the F-22 Raptor from Tyndall's 95th Fighter Squadron are 
deployed in Europe, supporting the NATO Baltic air patrol mission.
  On this momentous anniversary, our grateful Nation says thank you to 
the 95th Fighter Squadron and all the men and women serving in the 
United States Air Force around the world.
  Aim high. Fly, fight, win.
