“Having no speakers on my side, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I want to add my voice to the voice of every other speaker on this resolution, for what an honor it has been to serve with Sam Johnson and to see his example of service on the floor of this House every day. I want to reiterate the importance of this resolution. It sends a critical message to our military families that their sacrifices are not forgotten. Our government must never give up until every last American is returned to their families and to their homeland. Today, it is easy to think of Congress as a body divided between Republicans and Democrats, but, ultimately, we are all Americans, and each and every one of us owes a huge debt of gratitude to our troops serving today and those who have served in the past. Their valor and courage have defined our Nation's course. We applaud them, we honor them, and we will do everything in our power to see that those who remain unaccounted-for are returned home. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
