                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 6, 2019

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor today to recognize the 
visit of the Remembering Our Fallen memorial in Menominee, Michigan.
  First created in 2010, Remembering Our Fallen is a photographic war 
memorial honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense 
of our nation following the September 11th attacks. Unlike other brick 
and marble memorials, Remembering Our Fallen was designed to travel 
throughout the country and features military and personal photos of 
those who we have lost. Its efforts ensure that the men and women who 
have died in service will forever be remembered by Americans 
everywhere.
  Efforts to host the Remembering Our Fallen memorial in Michigan's 
First District were spearheaded by the Menominee Disabled American 
Veterans chapter. The memorial will be set up at the Veterans Memorial 
Park in Menominee from August 23rd through the 26th.
  We owe the men and women featured in the Remembering Our Fallen 
memorial a debt which can never be repaid. By coming together to honor 
those who stood up to defend and to serve, the people of Michigan's 
First District can ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring the lives of those 
who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom as the 
Upper Peninsula hosts the Remembering Our Fallen memorial.
