Mr. Speaker, H.J. Res. 86 sets the record straight. Never should our courageous veterans, whether it is Bill Green of White County, Indiana or my father, Dr. John Buyer, or the millions who served in the Korean War ever, ever, ever doubt that this Nation understands and appreciates their sacrifices and their contribution to freedom that we enjoy, not only in our Nation but around the world. We must never allow a veteran who fought for this Nation or a family who lost a loved one by either death or is missing in action to ever say that their war was a forgotten war. Mr. Speaker, I commend the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Ewing) for bringing this resolution to the attention of the House and to the country. I urge my colleagues to send a message that the people who fought in Korea will not be forgotten and to vote in favor of adoption of the resolution.

I made some mistakes. We should have indexed the premiums on TRICARE for the gray area retirees.
