                   RECOGNIZING ST. CLOUD HONOR FLIGHT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM EMMER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 2015

  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the World 
War II veterans from St. Cloud, Minnesota, as they visit our nation's 
capital as part of the Honor Flight program.
  This afternoon I had the honor of meeting the St. Cloud Honor Flight 
as they visited the World War II Memorial down on the National Mall. 
The remaining men and women of the Greatest Generation are a reminder 
to all of us of the importance of duty, patriotism, and sacrifice. No 
word or action will ever repay what these men and women have done for 
our country, but I hope that today's journey with the Honor Flight 
serves as a small token of our immeasurable gratitude for their service 
to this great nation.
  I ask that this body join me in thanking our veterans for their 
service, and the Honor Flight program for making days like today 
possible for veterans across the country.
