Rec. E159 | Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E159] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] RECOGNIZING THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GULF WAR AND LIBERATION OF KUWAIT ______ HON. JUAN CISCOMANI of arizona in the house of representatives Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and recognize the 35th anniversary of the Gulf War and liberation of Kuwait. Each year, a ceremony to commemorate this anniversary is held at the Arizona Heroes Memorial in Oro Valley. While I cannot join in person this year, I would like to take this time to honor those who served in our armed forces in the Gulf War and fought to bring peace to the nation of Kuwait. I thank each veteran who served in these operations. Their dedication to our Nation and the fight for peace is remembered every day and will never be taken for granted. It is because of men and women like themselves that we are able to live in a free country. We know that freedom is not free. Our freedom has been fought for by countless men and women who have answered the call. I thank every veteran who served in the Gulf War, including Desert Storm, or the liberation of Kuwait for their fearless and selfless decision to fight so that freedom may reign. I thank each man and woman who lost their life fighting in these operations for their love of country and willingness to lay it all on the line to keep our Nation safe. They paid the ultimate price, and their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Saying ``thank you'' is nowhere near sufficient, but these two words are our best attempt at expressing our utmost gratitude for their heroic acts in service to our Nation. ____________________ |
