I have the highest regard and great praise for the young men and young women in uniform that we saw, in particular at Aviano Air Base, with the pilots, the ground troops, with the personnel, and again at Ramstein where we saw those pilots, and the ground crews and the loaders who are putting the cargo for the refugees onto those airplanes. They are professional, they are working hard, they are dedicated, and every man and woman in this country should be very proud of those in uniform who are doing their duty as they have been given their duty by their superior officers. Mr. Speaker, I have high praise for them, and I congratulate them on the wonderful job that they are doing for America.
