                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 23, 2019

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Arkansas's 
Korean War veteran commemorations. This summer, the Arkansas Department 
of Veterans Affairs is honoring the men and women who served our 
country and defended South Korea during the Cold War.
  In an oft-forgotten chapter of history, Korean War soldiers from the 
United States provided vital assistance to the South Korean army. 
During a volatile time, their service prevented North Korean forces 
from taking over the entire Korean peninsula.
  Arkansas has a rich history of bravery and patriotism, and I'm 
honored to recognize our Korean War veterans at these commemoration 
events. I thank each one of them for their service, and hope their 
legacies continue for generations to come.
