Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the perseverance,\ndedication, and hard work of the members of America's oldest and one of\nthe most prestigious units of our Armed Services, the 3rd U.S. Infantry\nRegiment, ``The Old Guard.''\n  As a nation, we have held many ceremonies honoring those individuals\nand groups who responded to the tragic events of September 11, 2001,\nand, without regard for their personal safety or emotional well-being,\nwent about the sometimes gruesome task of looking for survivors in an\narea so devastated, few of us can even imagine the horror faced on that\nday. Men and women who eventually were searching for something,\nanything, that could help identify a victim and bring some measure of\npeace to anxious family members and friends. Unfortunately, as with any\ndisaster of this magnitude, some people who assisted in the search for\nsurvivors and helped in the recovery efforts have not been identified\nand therefore have not been recognized for their invaluable service\nduring the days, weeks, and months following the attacks.\n  Traditionally, The Old Guard has served to conduct ceremonies,\nmemorial affairs, and special events to demonstrate the excellence of\nthe United States Army to the world. Their missions normally include\nconducting military ceremonies at the White House, Pentagon, and other\nnational memorials as well as to provide funeral escorts at Arlington\nNational Cemetery and maintain the 24-hour vigil at the Tomb of the\nUnknown Soldier. However, their normal mission changed on September 11,\n2001.\n  The Old Guard was immediately pressed into service for rescue and\nrecovery for the disaster site at the Pentagon. Like all branches and\nunits of our armed services, The Old Guard met the challenge in\nresponse to the terrorist attack. And like our nation, the resolve of\nThe Old Guard was not shaken, no matter the mission.\n  I rise today to honor the sacrifices of all our men and women in\nuniform involved in the war on terrorism, in particular the unique\nservices provided by members of The U.S. Infantry's Old Guard at the\nPentagon. Let us never forget the service that our military has\nprovided over the past 225 years and the sacrifices they made to\nprotect and preserve our freedom.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2002-11-22-pt1-PgE2129"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.44681201688945293, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
