  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the Veterans 
Wall of Freedom,

[[Page E1289]]

a monument to be erected in Grand Terrace, California. This memorial 
will honor the service, sacrifice and spirit of our nation's veterans, 
hundreds of thousands of whom called the Inland Empire home.
   This will memorialize the brave men and women who gave the ultimate 
sacrifice in the name of freedom and liberty. We will never forget what 
they did for our nation, risking their lives to keep us safe and free. 
For over two hundred years, brave Americans have put their lives in 
harm's way for the sake of our country. The Veterans Wall of Freedom 
will allow us to pay tribute to those courageous souls, and to teach 
future generations of their selflessness and sacrifice.
   The Veterans Wall of Freedom will serve as a constant reminder of 
the fearless Americans who lived beside us for decades and through 
multiple wars, and what they did to protect our families, communities 
and country.
