Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jim Davis for all that he has done to help those affected by cancer. Over the past 4 months, Jim has flown throughout the continental United States and given free plane rides to cancer survivors and patients. By sharing his passion for flying, Jim has brought comfort and everlasting memories to these individuals in their time of need. What truly is amazing about Jim's story is that he is going through a similar situation as the people he is helping. After being diagnosed with liver cancer and given just 9 months to live, Jim decided that he wasn't going to give up. Instead, he made it his mission to help others affected by this terrible disease. Jim has said, ``Some people get a cancer diagnosis and just sit and wait to die. Not me. I want to live. Cancer patients, live until the day you die.'' Jim, I want to thank you for your amazing acts of kindness. I am in awe of your positive attitude and capacity for helping others. Minnesota is Proud of Her Veterans
