   HONORING PALMETTO BAY'S GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR VETERANS PARK

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Monday, September 26, the 
Village of Palmetto Bay, a municipality located in my lovely 
congressional district, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its Veterans 
Park, a park solely dedicated to honor the brave men and women who have 
proudly served our wonderful Nation. It was a collaboration of a south 
Florida business, local officials, and the American Legion Marlin Moore 
Post 133 who joined together in support of this noble cause and made 
this park a reality.
  The Miami-Dade Military Affairs Board and other veterans affairs 
groups will assist the Village of Palmetto Bay in filling the park with 
memorials and historical data to honor veterans from every conflict in 
which our great Nation has participated in order to protect our 
freedoms.
  Residents and visitors alike will be able to learn and reflect on the 
sacrifices that so many courageous servicemembers have made and 
continue to make to this day.
  Congratulations to the Village of Palmetto Bay.
