                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 2016

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II and Korean 
War veterans who traveled to Washington, D.C. on June 8, 2016 with 
Honor Flight Chicago, a program that provides World War II and Korean 
War veterans the opportunity to visit their memorials on The National 
Mall in Washington, D.C. These memorials were built to honor their 
courage and service to their country.
  The American Veteran is one of our greatest treasures. The Soldiers, 
Airmen, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who traveled here on June 
8th answered our nation's call to service during one of its greatest 
times of need. From the European Campaign to the Pacific Asian Theater 
to the African Theater, these brave Americans risked life and limb, 
gave service and sacrificed much, all while embodying what it is to be 
a hero. We owe them more gratitude than can ever be expressed.
  I welcome these brave veterans to Washington and to their memorials. 
I am proud to submit the names of these men and women for all to see, 
hear, and recognize, and I call on my colleagues to rise and join me in 
expressing gratitude.
