                           HON. DAVID P. ROE

                        Friday, October 23, 2009

  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I am so proud to recognize and 
commend the town of Jonesborough and Washington County for its 10th 
year anniversary of the Jonesborough Veterans Park. In 1999, Washington 
County celebrated this park at the groundbreaking ceremony, and on 
Memorial Day of 2000, the Jonesborough Veterans' Park construction was 
completed.
  Memorial Day of 2000 was extra special for veterans all throughout 
Washington County because of the Jonesborough Veterans Park.
  Mr. Speaker, I introduced a Resolution, congratulating the 
Jonesborough Veterans Park for their 10th anniversary and for a decade 
of successful management and preservation of the park land. This will 
be a reminder that we in the First District are committed to honoring 
our veterans.
  I want to thank the volunteers in Washington County who worked on 
this park and who remain dedicated to honoring our veterans.
