I want to thank my colleague, the gentleman from South Carolina, for his words and his support on this bill. This has special meaning to me because my father fought, also, in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, and he recently passed away as one of the members of the Greatest Generation. Floyd Lindstrom, though, never came back. I believe he was engaged. He had a fiancee or a girlfriend, but he never came back. So it is only fitting that we honor the veterans who have served in the past on a building that is going to be serving the needs of our veterans in the present. And I believe this will also inspire generations in the future as they know the story of Floyd Lindstrom. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
