         MAY GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED SERVICES

  (Mr. CHAFFETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAFFETZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise in the hope that we will, as a 
nation, pause and thank the men and women who have served in our armed 
services.
  Every day, men and women who wake up and serve their Nation do so at 
the risk of their own lives. They leave behind loved ones and families 
and brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and kids.
  They serve, who knows where? When they enter the service, they don't 
know where they are going to serve, but they know that they love the 
United States of America, and they are willing to put their lives on 
the line. That has happened throughout generations of time. Millions of 
people have answered that call to serve.
  The least we can do as a nation is be grateful and give pause, give 
prayer, and give thanks to these men and women who will serve us in the 
future and who have served us in the past. May God bless them, and may 
God bless the United States of America.
