Today we had an event, and it was on behalf of the wounded warriors, sponsored by Disabled Sports USA. These are many of our men and women who are fighting for us, have come back, and we appreciate everything that they've done for us. On behalf of Ander Crenshaw, my co-captain on the Republican side, and myself, we want to thank all of the Members who participated, both Members and former Members, and all of the sponsors and individuals involved. It was a tournament for a good cause. There were no losers. The winners were the wounded warriors and the disabled sports vets who will get an opportunity to revamp their lives, enjoy golf. This was a match between the Republicans and the Democrats. And I know that last year the Republicans won and retained the cup then, but today, the Democrats ended up winning and retaining the cup. On behalf of all the Democrats here and the players who participated, thank you very much. I would like to yield to the gentleman from Florida, Ander Crenshaw, my co-captain.
