Mr. Speaker, last week I was grateful to join Senator Lindsey Graham on a delegation for the Munich Security Conference. A highlight was Vice President Mike Pence reaffirming America's commitment to the Transatlantic Alliance. I then joined the delegation led by Congressmen Gerry Connolly and Rick Larsen for the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reassured our allies of bipartisan support for NATO's continued success. Congressman Mike Turner ably presided as vice president of the assembly. Another highlight in Brussels was to meet with U.S. Ambassador Ronald Gidwitz and his wife, Christina, whose enthusiasm for service is extraordinary. The ambassador is promoting the restoration of the Mardasson Memorial, honoring American servicemembers in the Battle of the Bulge. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
