Brian Jones: “I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in addition to…”

On the recordOctober 25, 2011

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in addition to what Mr. Clay was saying, I want the House to know that the Montford Point Marines are revered by the citizens of Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune. Their history speaks for itself. They gave their blood and their lives in the South Pacific with their fellow marines as they fought for this country during World War II. Again, I think that Congresswoman Brown deserves so much credit in bringing this forward, as does the memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt for seeing the value of creating this opportunity for Americans. With that, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1250
