COMMEMORATING THE 31ST ANNIVERSARY OF OPERATION DESERT STORM
______
HON. JERRY McNERNEY
of california
in the house of representatives
Monday, March 7, 2022
Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, this past week we commemorated the 31st anniversary of Operation Desert Storm and paid tribute to the men and women who served in the final effort to liberate Kuwait from invading Iraqi troops. The service members who carried out Operation Desert Storm were instrumental in bringing the Gulf War to an end. Their courage and sacrifice are a symbol of our nation's values and commitment to our allies around the world.
That's why I introduced House Resolution 172, to designate February 28th as ``Desert Storm Veterans Day'' and to advocate for fair compensation and the highest quality medical treatment for veterans suffering from ailments associated with their Desert Storm service--
some of which stem from exposure to chemical, biological, and environmental toxins.
I want to thank my constituent, Michael Emerson, for his fervent support of this effort. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the tremendous contributions of those who served in Operation Desert Storm.
