Political Quotes

“I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6138, introduced by the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Brownley). The bill designates a post office in Port Hueneme, California, as the U.S. Naval Construction Battalion ``Seabees'' Fallen Heroes Post Office Building. The Seabees were founded during World War II to help complete construction projects, such as airstrips and bridges necessary to help U.S. servicemen win the war. These brave servicemen and -women have since risked their lives in many conflicts to build bases, roadways, airstrips, and other construction projects, often in combat zones while under fire. I look forward to hearing more about the achievements of the Seabees from the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Brownley). For now, I urge Members to support the bill. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
