     HONORING THOSE WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE ON MEMORIAL DAY

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, our Nation has been built on democratic 
ideas. Over the course of our Nation's history, these principles have 
been threatened by forces that do not share our ideas of democracy. Due 
to the heroic efforts of the men and women of our military, our Nation 
has stood against these threats.
  Memorial Day is the time to honor these men and women who gave their 
lives in defense of our country and the blessings of liberty that we 
enjoy today. This Memorial Day, I hope that all will join me in 
remembering the soldiers who laid down their lives for this Nation and 
to celebrate the rights, liberties, and institutions that they 
preserved.
