We are here tonight to honor our colleague, Walter B. Jones. Madam Speaker, I want to thank Congressman Price for the effort he has put in to making this evening a time for us to honor Walter, our esteemed colleague. Madam Speaker, Walter Jones will always be remembered for his dedication to North Carolina's Third District and his steadfast support for all of our Nation's men and women in uniform.
