Much has been said about the tumultuous times in which we live, and it is true, we do face enormous challenges. But I would like to remind the American people of the things that will get us through these times. My parents were part of the Greatest Generation. My father was a pilot in World War II, and I am honored to wear his Air Force wings. My mother was a mother of 10 amazing children, many of which are with me today. They are the best friends that I have ever had. Our parents taught us something that each of us has embroidered and now hangs on our individual family walls, and it is this: Our family's motto is duty, honor, service to God, family, and country. We are, as Abraham Lincoln said: ``The last best hope of Earth.'' That was true when he said it. It is still true today. We created the miracle of the Constitution; we survived the catastrophe of the Civil War; we defeated communism, totalitarianism, fascism; we have the strength to get through the challenges that we face today. But it will only be true if we are true to that principle: Duty, honor, service to God, family, and country. ____________________

I thank the ranking member, Mr. Hill, and my colleagues. I especially thank my cosponsor from New Hampshire for her support and her words today. Madam Speaker, much has been said, so I will be brief. I obviously stand before you in support…
