On the recordFebruary 13, 2018
As I close, I want to commend the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, which continues the noble work of accounting for our missing troops and personnel day in and day out around the world. I also want to express gratitude to those groups that continue to keep the home fires burning bright for the many families still awaiting concrete information on their loved ones. These include: The National League of POW/MIA Families; The American Legion; The Veterans of Foreign Wars; The Disabled American Veterans; The Jewish War Veterans; AMVETS; Vietnam Veterans of America; The Special Forces Association; The Special Operations Association; and Rolling Thunder. Finally, I, again, thank Congressman Sam Johnson for introducing this resolution and for exemplifying the ideals of service, sacrifice, and honor. He was recognized by his communist suppressors as one of the most stubborn prisoners, a true tribute of his courage. All Members of Congress, of both parties, cherish the service of Congressman Sam Johnson. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for H. Res. 129, and I yield back the balance of my time.
