MORAN AND CAPTAIN WILLIAM WYLIE GALT ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 719) to rename the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Great Falls, Montana, the Captain John E. Moran and Captain William Wylie Galt Armed Forces Reserve Center. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The text of the bill is as follows: S. 719 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. RENAMING OF THE ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER IN GREAT FALLS, MONTANA, AS THE CAPTAIN JOHN E. MORAN AND CAPTAIN WILLIAM WYLIE GALT ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER. (a) Renaming.--The Armed Forces Reserve Center in Great Falls, Montana, shall hereafter be known and designated as the ``Captain John E. Moran and Captain William Wylie Galt Armed Forces Reserve Center''. (b) References.--Any reference in any law, map, regulation, map, document, paper, other record of the United States to the facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be considered to be a reference to the Captain John E. Moran and Captain William Wylie Galt Armed Forces Reserve Center. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Zinke) and the gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo) each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Montana. General Leave Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material on the bill under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Montana? There was no objection. Mr. ZINKE. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S. 719 and my companion bill, H.R. 1521, to honor Montana Medal of Honor recipients Captain John E. Moran and Captain William Wylie Galt and rename the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Great Falls, Montana, in their honor. [[Page 4482]] Captain John E. Moran served in the Philippine-American war and was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1910 for fearlessly leading a small body of troops under severe fire and through waist-deep water in the attack against the enemy. Captain William Wylie Galt served in World War II and was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1945 for gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. Galt manned a machinegun on a tank destroyer at the front of the assault force, staying at his post in the vehicle's turret and continuing to lead his men despite intense hostile fire. He was killed while manning his machinegun and, on February 1, 1945, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. He was just 24 years old. I am proud to have a member of the Galt family on my staff. Captain Galt and Captain Moran are an inspiration to every Montanan who was ever and will ever put on the uniform, myself included. Montana has a strong heritage of military service, with more veterans per capita than almost any other state in the Nation, to include our Indian nations. Both Captain Moran and Captain Galt received the Medal of Honor, this Nation's most distinguished honor, for displaying such personal bravery that went well beyond the call of duty. As leaders, they deserve our respect and honor. Memorializing these two heroes by renaming the Armed Forces Reserve Center will provide a daily reminder to us all of the service and sacrifice these Montanans made to our country. I thank my friends, Senator Steve Daines and Senator Jon Tester, for seeing this important bill through the Senate. I am proud to see this issue to completion. I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. BORDALLO. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in support of the Montana congressional delegation's legislation to rename the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Great Falls, Montana, to the Captain John E. Moran and Captain William Wylie Galt Armed Forces Reserve Center. Captain Moran and Captain Galt were both awarded the Medal of Honor, the Nation's highest honor, for their bravery in combat during the Philippine-American war and World War II, respectively. The recognition they earned through the sacrifices that they and their families made will be memorialized appropriately at the facility. As the Congresswoman representing Guam here in Congress, I have a special appreciation for the service of our men and our women in uniform and their families. Having welcomed the Marines in 1944 after 3 years of brutal Japanese occupation during World War II, our island has a history of service and one that demonstrates an understanding of our role in the American community. {time} 1645 Guam, like Montana, ranks in the top percentile for the servicemembers and veterans per capita, and our National Guard consistently maintains a force that is among the largest per capita in the Nation, a fact I am always proud to highlight. I commend Congressman Zinke and Senators Tester and Daines for their work in recognizing the contributions of two of Montana's own. I am pleased to support this bill and look forward to continuing to work to ensure that our brave servicemembers get the recognitions they deserve and have earned. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers. I encourage passage of this bill. I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Zinke) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 719. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it. Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this motion will be postponed. ____________________
