             75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR

  Mr. McCONNELL. Of course, Mr. President, it is fitting that we are 
talking about the bravery of our servicemembers on December 7. Today 
marks the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a date that 
FDR rightly predicted ``will live in infamy.'' It is a time when we 
reflect on the meaning of this day for our country and for our 
military, a time when we remember all those who sacrificed on our 
behalf, and a time when we recognize the men and women in uniform 
currently serving to keep our country safer.
  Through the years, one of my greatest experiences has been the 
opportunity I have had to meet with distinguished Kentucky veterans as 
they visit Washington through the Honor Flight Program. I know many of 
our colleagues do the same thing when veterans from their States come 
to town.
  Today I ask our colleagues to join me in remembering all those who 
served and sacrificed so much and in thanking our men and women in 
uniform who are stationed around the world this holiday season.
