The fourth line in the Warrior Ethos reads: ``I will never leave a fallen comrade.'' Every soldier who passes through Army basic training knows this motto, and truly it is the spirit of our entire military. Currently, more than 75,000 Americans are unaccounted for from conflicts ranging from World War II to the war on terror. We must continue to vindicate the spirit of the Warrior Ethos and aid our military to make sure that we never leave any servicemembers behind, which is why I am cosponsoring a resolution for the creation of a Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs in the House. This select committee will be responsible for investigating these unaccounted for servicemembers and finally bring peace of mind and closure to their families. So, Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that we not abandon this obligation and that we help our brave servicemembers never leave behind a fallen comrade. Ending Unnecessary Shark Finning
