My resolution today that I have placed before the House is meant to honor heroes that were obviously victims of this terror. If is a modest gesture to salute the 19 men who in life and who in death made their country proud and, in doing so, gave their country an example of service, dedication, and nobility for which all Americans should strive and which we should not forget. It was only a matter of months ago, on June 25, that an act of terrorism was perpetrated against the men and women of our armed services in Saudi Arabia. Those men and women had been called by their country to a duty in a faraway place to help defend freedom in a land that has known very little of it. Yet like the professionals that they are, they did their jobs, and in doing so, they were making sure that we all could enjoy the blessings of liberty. Then in one split second, the 19 brave young men were killed.
