Madam Speaker. to all those that are going to be celebrating this Memorial Day weekend. my special condolences go to the soldiers and their families that have given their lives so bravely and courageously. In fact. in my district in Los Angeles. 11 soldiers were killed. the first soldier being Francisco Martinez Flores. who is a green card soldier. He was not a fullfledged citizen. but he honored us by fighting for us and defending our freedom in Iraq. I found out later that his parents were not here legally. But through the work of some of the Members on our side of the aisle. we worked very diligently to secure citizenship for those serving in our country.
