  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the sacrifice of 
our nation's servicemembers at Dearborn's 95th Memorial Day Parade. On 
this day of remembrance, we recognize our veterans for their 
selflessness and courage.
  Organized by the Dearborn Allied War Veterans Council and the City of 
Dearborn, the city's Memorial Day Parade is one of the largest in the 
United States and the oldest continuous parade in the state of 
Michigan. The ceremony draws the Dearborn community together to honor 
those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. 
This year, the event recognizes Gold Star families and honors the many 
nameless soldiers who have died in service of this country. This 
tribute serves as an important reminder of the patriotic sacrifice of 
the families of our servicemembers.
  The contributions of our veterans embody the duty we have to our 
community through tireless work, compassion, and leadership. On 
Memorial Day, we honor their selfless public service, and remember 
those who have given their lives in service of our country. On this day 
we reaffirm our commitment to supporting our veterans as they continue 
to protect our nation and commend their families for their sacrifice. 
We thank our brave servicemembers for their selflessness and sacrifice, 
and we are grateful for their commitment to serving the American people 
abroad and at home.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the many 
servicemen and women of our nation for their distinguished service. I 
wish the Dearborn 95th Memorial Day Parade a successful celebration to 
mark this special occasion.
