Steve Daines said "Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor Donald Buska, a Montana World War II veteran who passed away earlier this week. I had the honor to meet Donald on Monday, just a day before he passed away. Donald was in Washington, D.C., as part of the Big Sky Honor Flight, an incredible program that allows Montana veterans to travel to D.C. and see their memorials. One of the best parts of my job is meeting with these Montana veterans and honoring their service and their sacrifice. It is an honor to hear their stories, to stand with them before the memorials honoring their service, and to shake their hands. I am glad Donald was able to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime trip to accomplish his lifetime dream. Thank you, Donald, for your service. Cindy and I join all Montanans in saying ``thank you'' and keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. ___________________
