mr. lincoln has a remarkable story. as a 17-year-old from a very small town in wayne, maine, a town of less than 1000 people, and standing just five feet, five inches tall, i wondered if i read that, was that the effects of malnutrition during the depression -- mr. lincoln served as a first scout in the infantry division at a battle which, as you all know, was a grueling and historically important amphibious assault in the italian campaign, and amphibious landing against long odds which prevented the capture of rome. he repeatedly risked his life on the front line to identify enemy artillery, and regularly and during enemy fire and never shrinking from enormous dangers. the first division to enter a combat zone in world war ii, and in 344 days of combat, that infantry division lost 2,298 men killed in action more than 9000 wounded. the blue devils prove that rigorous training, sound teamwork, competent leadership, , an allce determination ftee division fought a battle hardened enemy. on june 4, everyone wanted to be the

mr. lincoln was awarded the bronze star medal. and on june 4, 1944, the day when he and his fellow soldiers from the 88th infantry division entered rome, richard lincoln turned 18 years old. mr. lincoln was and is today, a , humble, ernest, self-effacing man, grateful to be an american. he knows what it felt like to be shot at from very close range every day for months since being a scout was about as close as -- close to the front lines as it gets. today he wonders how he survived , when so many comrades did not. he says he thinks it might have then because -- i was short -- which is a wise point. i never envied tall men on the battlefield myself. [laughter] by would tell you that mr. lincoln is one of those who created the legacy of the american army, the most trusted, most ethical, most capable army in the world. one that is built on physically tough and tactically competent officers and shoulders at the top of their game. from the bulge to the delta and the deserts that this generation of soldiers have faced, when trouble looms

mr. lincoln's character trying to come out and finding the family and they're gone and the town is emptynd lenny james ends up helping him and he takes that navigation to find his family. that's how the story began. he meets fellow survivors and find his family and a lot of loss and pain. the premise of the world is no t allowing people to die often. you know a lot of our characters have -- we stayed connected as a family but we lost a lot of characters because the premise demands it. >> for those three people that have not seen "the walking dead," gear up. >> who's counting? >> you did a fine job. >> let me go back to your playwright. >> that had to be amazing for you. >> that was a pinch me moment. that journey was so epic. i was onto my fourth at that point. i created that in 2009 and 2008 and it had a really great life in regional theaters. >> uh-huh. >> one of the regional theaters we had an original production and it was yale repertory where lupita going to the repertory. i knew her before but we connected much more during the process and i kept on trying to use her for my plays an

abraham lincoln. mr. speaker, i believe this was not the act of god punishing americans for being country music fans or conservatives. this was not the act of god punishing americans for turning away. in is from a man with evil his heart and a country where god has been driven out of the school house and driven out of government buildings by a majority of supreme court justices who have no clue how far from the original intent of the constitution they have wandered. of the result of years teaching people that there are what we deem innocent in society that just should not be allowed to live. that's not the teaching of jesus and not the teaching in the bible. and it is not what this country grew so great believing. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. does the gentleman from texas have a motion. mr. gohmert: i move that we now adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes h

remember the words of president abraham lincoln when he said, quote, those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and under a just god cannot retain it. mr. speaker, abraham lincoln called upon us to remember that magnificent declaration of america's founding fathers and said, quote, their enlightened belief that nothing stamped with the divine image and likeness was sent into this world to be trodened on or degraded and embruted by his fellows. he reminded those who he called prosperity that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest that set up a docket rick ryne that were not entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that their prosperity -- that's us, mr. speaker -- that their prosperity might look up again to the declaration of independence and take courage to renew the battle which their battles began. unquote. wow. mr. speaker, what we are doing to these little babies is real and all of us here know that in our own hearts. so let me close with a final wise counsel from abraham lincoln who stood so strongly for human dignity and it desperately applies to all of us in this moment. he said, fellow c

he said that private communications, the third most quoted writing of abraham lincoln, his letter to mrsxby whose five sons were killed in the civil war. so, you know, he defended... he was on the high ground. he's got a marvelous record, but now he's in the mix. he's now a chief of staff and he's mixing it up. >> i'm reminded of karl marx that all historical events happen twice. first is tragedy, next is farce. the four soldiers being killed is tragedy. then trump made the call, and one imagines he made the call in clumsy form, as john kelly said, that the soldier died doing what he loved to do and that he chose to be amongst the 1%, the best amongst it. donald trump is not oprah. he doesn't speak particularly well. i'm sure it was clumsy. so that happened. then it's off to the circus. we then get a political charge against trump. then trump lies and says something about obama, and then it's just back and forth. and these are like the typical pseudo events of the trump era where it's really about nothing except we want to have a fight with each other. so they're going to have a fight ov

mr. speaker, in his second inaugural address, president abraham lincoln called on our nation to endeavor to care for him who shall have borne the hisle and for his widow and orphan. unfortunately rather than confront -- conform sergeant hnson's grieving family -- comfort sergeant johnson's grieving family, the current occupant of the white house has chosen to use them as a prop in the constant effort to sow discord and division in this country. the president and his white house chief of staff, john kelly, who happens to be a four star general, have insulted and smeared an honorable public servant who happens to be a five-star conchwomanment and in effect -- congresswoman. and in effect called her and the , her constituent, liars. congresswoman frederica s. which willson has been a champion for the people -- which willson has been a champion for the people -- wilson has been a champion for the people of south florida for decades. she was accompanying ms. johnson and her family to receive her husband's remains. she had mentored sergeant johnson throughout his childhood. i have participated

mr. thompson: meerks saint-gaudens is one of the most prolific scupters in our nation's history. his work includes boston's robert shaw memorial, chicago's standing lincoln and new york's memorial. most notably, saint-gaudens designed a $20 double eagle gold piece for the u.s. mint, considered one of the greatest american coins ever issued. the saint-gaudens national historic site is a 190 had been acre historic site in sullivan county -- 190-acre historic site in sullivan county. this helped spawn the core initial artist's colony -- cornish artist's colony. this was comprised of painters, sculptures and musicians. in the years following the civil war. the main house and surrounding gardens were initially designed as a national historic landmark in 1962, which was converted to a national historic site in 1964, when the grounds were donated to the national park service. the current property contains 21 buildings, a number of saint-gaudens sculptures and miles of hiking trace. this bill simply changes the designation -- trails. this bill simply changes the designation of saint-gaudens national historic site to a national historic park. allowing the nationa

we're as abraham lincoln said, the last best hope on earth. mr. stewart: that was true when he said it. still true today. we created the miracle of the constitution. we survived the catastrophe of the civil war. we defeated communism, totalitarianism, fascism. we have the strength to get through the challenges that we face today, but it will only be true if we're true to that principle -- due, honor, service to god, family, and country. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. for what purpose does the gentlelady from hawaii seek recognition? ms. gabbard: unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. . the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. gabbard: mr. speaker, for far too long big phrma has played by its own rules. benefiting from skyrocketing drug prices on the backs of our most vulnerable populations. back in 2003, legislation was passed establishing medicare part d to make prescription drugs more affordable for people, but big phrma lob

mr. merkley: the most powerful words in our constitution are the first three words: we the people. it sets up the mission statement for our nation. or as president lincoln put it, a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. our founders did not start out our constitution with the words we the powerful or we the powerful and privileged. they didn't proceed to say that our form of government is all about the powerful and privileged ruling for themselves to make themselves richer at the expense of everyone else. thus, going back to the foundation, the vision of our nation is appropriate because our republican colleagues have put forward a document, a budget with a tax plan that is all about government for the powerful. it's all about self-serving government for the privileged. nothing about fighting for a foundation for ordinary people, to be able to thrive here in the united states of america. indeed, the plan put forward by my republican colleagues is a plan fit for a king. fit for a king living in a gilded castle. maybe fit for king trump living in trump tower. but certainly not for working america, living and striving to build the wealth
