Volusia Honor Air
__________

HON. JOHN L. MICA
OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, September 27, 2008


  Mr. MICA. Madam Speaker, today, September 27, 2008, 100 Volusia County veterans from the Second World War will visit our Nations Capital as part of the Honor Air program. For each of these central Florida veterans this will be their first opportunity to see the World War II Memorial. As the Congressman from Florida's Seventh Congressional District, it will be my privilege to assist in their visit. As part of their mission to Washington, DC, I will join them in laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation. This will be a special occasion in the lives of our World War II veterans. I ask that the United States House of Representatives join me in recognizing Our Greatest Generation from Florida's Seventh Congressional District and wish them well as they gather in America's Capital City.

  It is my privilege to honor the service and sacrifice of those veterans who will be visiting our Nation's Capital on September 27, 2008:
