                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 16, 2017

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the opening 
ceremonies of the Traveling Wall That Heals in Mena, Arkansas.

[[Page E336]]

The Traveling Wall is a replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington 
and brings the names of the fallen to cities across our great nation. 
According to Mena VFW Post 4451 Commander Linda Johnson, ``Bringing the 
Wall to communities across the country spreads its healing legacy to 
millions.''
  I want to thank Commander Johnson, members of VFW Post 4451, and the 
citizens of Mena for their leadership in bringing this important piece 
of history to the Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas. May the 
lives of those killed during the Vietnam War never be forgotten.
