I am honored that the gentleman from Nebraska joined us to lift our voices high, as our flag of rural America flies high in this House. We think about those families, those middle and working class families, every day as we govern on behalf of the people we represent. Mr. Speaker, I have got another gentleman who I am learning a great deal from as I serve with him on the House Agriculture Committee and the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. He is a very passionate man from the great State of Illinois' 12th District. He is a firefighter, the son and grandson of coal miners, and a proud daddy. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost).
