                      SONS AND DAUGHTERS IN TOUCH

  (Ms. HAHN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Sons and Daughters In Touch, 
an organization which supports and connects children whose parents were 
killed in battle, called Gold Star Children.
  Sons and Daughters In Touch was founded by my friend Tony Cordero, 
who lost his father in Vietnam when he was just 2 years old. This past 
Monday, I laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington 
Cemetery and visited the grave of Tony's father, William.
  Thousands of families rely on Sons and Daughters In Touch to help 
them through the process of healing and to honor the memory of their 
moms and dads. Sons and Daughters In Touch will celebrate its 25th 
anniversary this Father's Day, with a remembrance at the Vietnam 
Veterans Memorial.
  We have a shared responsibility to care for the children whose 
parents have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I have 
introduced a resolution in honor of Sons and Daughters In Touch, 
recognizing the importance of this organization and the strength of the 
families it represents.
