Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of S. 296. a bill to provide a small. limited number of immigrant visas to foreign nationals who serve honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States. The outstanding achievement of U.S. military forces in the Middle East has reinvigorated our Nations sense of pride and admiration for our brave military forces. A small and frequently forgotten component of those forces consists of some 3.000 Filipino sailors who served right alongside our own U.S. citizen military personnel. By all accounts. this small contingent of foreign nationals--almost exclusively Filipinosis remarkable for its loyalty. commitment. and sense of duty.
