                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. K. MICHAEL CONAWAY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2017

  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the opening of 
the new and expanded Memorial Lane in Granbury, Texas on July 1, 2017.
   Located along the Granbury Hike and Bike Trail, Memorial Lane pays 
homage to those who were lost in the line of duty and honors all those 
serving or who have served as a firefighter, police officer or armed 
service member. The memorial features moving art pieces that depict the 
sacrifices that these individuals and their families have made. In 
addition, Memorial Lane also includes a plaza completed with picnic 
tables and areas for the community to enjoy the scenery and special 
atmosphere of the memorial.
   Tributes such as these allow us to reflect on the remarkable lives 
of our fallen heroes and their families. We must continue to honor them 
every day and use these individuals as shining examples for generations 
to come. I look forward to seeing this memorial the next time I am in 
Granbury.
   May God bless our first responders and armed service members serving 
today and in days past. May He comfort those who endure the pain of 
loss, and may He never cease to shed his grace on Texas and this great 
nation.
