Who are still here to fight and serve us and protect us. Remember congress decided shortly after world war i, to decide that the 11th day, the day that the armistice was signed, the 11th of november, the 11th hour, 11 00 in the morning, would be the time to pay tribute to the veterans. So were all going to toll that bell one more time to give thanks to our veterans for all theyve done for us, for all they will do for us in the future. You know, its b its best when you talk about veterans, to talk about them of the people they were, the people they are, whether they are alive or passed on. I want to talk about two veterans whose paths crossed my life, to point out why we owe them so much and we have so much to be thankful for. One of them is Jackson Elliott cox, iii, of bird county, which is the bird dog capital of america. Its the home of a Nuclear Power plant. Its a beautiful rural county in georgia. Jack was my best friend in college. We met in 1962. We graduated in 1966. Ill never f
Texas senator john cornyn spoke on the floor today about the Church Shooting in texas. The texan republican aimed at strengthening the system, following his remarks, a number of senators came to the floor to talk about veterans day.

Al inen typical texas fashion, you dont consider themselves to be heroes, but i consider them to be heroes. They said they were just doing wha
Georgia, john hoeven of north dakota, and tom tillis of North Carolina. This is about 35 minutes. , mr. President , this week this coming week will mark veterans day. It is an important time for us to reflect on what veterans do for us and what their families do for us, the sacrifices that both those who served and those who support those who serve is incredibly important. We have half a million missouri veterans and one of the great privileges of this job is to get to represent them, and the values and commitment to freedom in our country that they stand for. Just a couple of weeks ago, i had the opportunity to welcome a group of southwest missouri veterans who came to washington with the honor flight program. I think you do this too, that every time i get a chance if there is an honor flight from our state i try to get down there, because it is a great time to see and talk to and thank those who have served us. And the honor flight started 20 years ago or so, there were still some wo
