Thank you very much, Dr. Heck, Colonel Heck. Thank you for sharing that story. As a surgeon who served in Iraq, that was very moving to me and very familiar. I think about how my experience in war has changed the national anthem for me. When I hear the ``rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air,'' I think of those that we didn't save. When I think of ``home of the brave, land of the free,'' I think of those that have saved us time and time again throughout our history. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bentivolio). He is retired as a sergeant first class in the Army National Guard. He had service in Iraq in 2007 and served in Vietnam as an infantry rifleman from '70 to '71. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan.
