“As our collective attention and focus is on the war in Iraq, it is critically important that we remember our troops who are prisoners of war. Allow me to read the names of these brave men and women who are now enduring life as a POW: Patrick Miller, age 23, from Park City, Kansas; Ronald D. Young, Jr., age 26, from Lithia Springs, Georgia; David S. Williams, age 30, from Orlando, Florida; Joseph Hudson, age 23, from Alamogordo, New Mexico; Shoshana Johnson, age 30, from Fort Bliss, Texas; Edgar Hernandez, age 21, from Mission, Texas; and James Joseph Riley, age 31, from Pennauken, New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, these soldiers are again proving that freedom is not free. May we all as Americans remember these brave men and women and pray for their families, their safety and their rapid return.”
