    IN RECOGNITION OF THE DEDICATION OF COLEMAN'S VETERANS MEMORIAL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 28, 2018

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the dedication 
of a new veterans memorial in the Village of Coleman, Wisconsin. Found 
within Lillian's Park, the ``All Veterans Memorial'' honors veterans 
from every branch who have served in wars on behalf of our country. We 
will never know all the sacrifices our veterans have made, however this 
memorial will stand in recognition of their service and honor their 
example.
   The ``All Veterans Memorial'' was made possible by the generous 
support of American Legion Post 280 and the Coleman community. The 
Kalbes-Seewald American Legion Post sold their legion hall last fall 
and dedicated the proceeds to the construction of a memorial for the 
veterans of our armed forces, as well as POWs/MIA. The Village of 
Coleman has also enthusiastically supported the project and contributed 
generously to its development.
   The ``All Veterans Memorial'' is a fine tribute to the men and women 
who have given so much to our country. I hope that every visitor to 
Lillian's Park will pause beside the granite stone to remember our 
veterans--past, present, and future. Mr. Speaker, I urge all members of 
this body to join me in commending American Legion Post 280 and the 
Village of Coleman as they dedicate this new monument.
