“Today is my, one of my brother's birthdays, May 10. He has two sons out of five sons currently on active duty. One is an intelligence officer with the Forth Fighter Wing, one of the world's greatest fighter wings flying the F-15E Strike Eagle. He is their intelligence officer, just back from Saudi Arabia for the second time. The other son is over in the Pentagon, Don, Jr., the other one is Matthew. Another name, MacArthur, after General MacArthur. And the older brother of the two is Don Dornan, Jr., a lieutenant commander over in the Pentagon. Important job over there. Had over 30, 35 missions in the Gulf as an AWACS controller on an E-2 Hawkeye with the Sundowners. Mr. Speaker, this is the 51st anniversary plus 2 days of the end of the war in Europe, the great crusade, as General, soon-to-be-President, Eisenhower said, that began with some commando raids across the beaches of Hitler's Fortress Europe and then, with the great Normandy invasion, proceeded inland and with amazing speed and great loss of life on all sides brought freedom to Europe. And 99 days later in the mid of August, 1945, the Japanese warlords conceded defeat and we had a cease-fire with a total, unconditional surrender of all of the Axis forces on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri.”
