  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the unveiling of the 
Wall of Honor at the Southbury Senior Center.
  Today, we recognize the senior citizens from Southbury who proudly 
served our country in uniform. These men and women answered the call of 
duty to protect our nation and defend its ideals. They served during 
war and during peace, at home and abroad. No matter their deployment or 
their mission, each of our veterans deserves the recognition and 
accolades they will receive during today's ceremony.
  While we can never fully repay our veterans for their service and 
sacrifice, I believe it is important to take every opportunity to thank 
and honor them. I hope when the wall is revealed, each veteran will 
feel the appreciation and gratitude of our community and the entire 
nation.
  I would like to thank Wayne Rioux, Amanda Hadgraft, the staff and 
volunteers at Southbury Senior Center for creating this memorial to 
recognize these local American heroes.
