COOPER HONORS VETERANS IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
May 8, 2012
- In honor of the World War II veterans on the Music City Honor Flight, Congressman Jim Cooper entered the following statement into the Congressional Record.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the World War II veterans who are flying to Washington D.C. today from Nashville, TN with Music City Honor Flight. This Honor Flight is part of a nation-wide effort to bring as many World War II veterans as possible to the memorial created here in honor of their service and in honor of the fallen.
Through their selflessness, these brave men and women who served in World War II saved our country and changed the course of history. We can never adequately repay them for their sacrifice. Whether Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, or Coast Guardsman, they heroically served their Nation during our time of greatest need. It is my high privilege to welcome them to the Nation’s Capital and to honor them here today.
I am proud to read into the Congressional Record the names of these distinguished veterans so that they can be recognized for their brave service and so my colleagues and I can express our gratitude.
