I would like to thank Mr. Pierluisi and Mr. Posey for proposing this bill, and I hope that it passes as quickly as possible. I would just simply like to add one thing, sitting and listening to these things: particularly in World War II, there was never a question by almost anyone about people of German American heritage or Italian American heritage fighting on behalf of the United States of America-- even in the European theater. Yet people had questions about other ethnicities which I think is a blot on the history of this great country, and I couldn't be prouder to be a very small, little part to be here today to try to make amends for those past sins and to say thank you to the Americans who served this great country and helped me live a better life. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
