On the recordJuly 25, 2000
I note that the gentleman from Pennsylvania, my colleague, is ready to give testimony to the special contribution that the individuals from his area made in this conflict... They are our citizen soldiers, our neighbors. We are all proud of them in their everyday and weekend warrioring that they do in our own communities. But when a conflict like this occurs, and we hope it never reoccurs, the spotlight goes on their day-by-day devotion to duty and day-by-day devotion to tradition that brings the best out in all Americans. When the final chapters are written on the Middle East and the conflicts that we have undergone there, these individuals from Desert Shield and Desert Storm will have the highest honors.
