“I rise today to pay tribute to the outstanding military service of a group of incredible Coloradans. These World War II veterans each played a role in defending the world from tyranny, truly earning their reputation as the ``greatest generation'' through their service and sacrifice. Now, thanks to an organization dedicated to honoring these veterans for all they have done for us, these great Coloradans came to Washington, DC, to visit the National World War II Memorial, to share their experiences with later generations and to pay tribute to those who gave their lives. It is an honor to have had them here, and I join with all Coloradans in thanking them for all they have done for us. I also want to say a word about the volunteers from Honor Flight of Southern Colorado who made this trip possible. They are great Coloradans in their own right, and their mission to bring our southern Colorado veterans to Washington, DC, is truly commendable. They have been doing great work since their inaugural flight in June 2012, this week bringing another group of American heroes to Washington, DC. The volunteers of Honor Flight of Southern Colorado believe our veteran heroes aren't asking for recognition, but they certainly deserve it. This opportunity to come to Washington is just a small token of appreciation for those who gave so much.…”
