“I thank my beloved brother in Christ and dear friend for not only his service as a Member of Congress, but for his service in wearing the uniform. I think, at its core, this mission that we have to steward and to protect, as the Federal Government's limited--emphasis on limited--role in the affairs of our great citizenry, is to keep us safe and keep us free. I thank the gentleman for doing that for his whole career. And God bless him for his service, both in the military and here in the United States Congress. I am honored to serve with him. Now, another liberty loving Texan who has been in public service, who has been a prosecutor, and has been a leader for our Lone Star State; and, now, he too, has been willing to leave a lot of good things behind, including a loving family, to come up here to this city and to fight for our freedom, to change the culture of this place so that it serves the people who hold the sovereignty and the future in their hands. He is a dear friend, and I am honored to have him, Chip Roy, of the great State of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).”
