RECOGNIZING THE UNVEILING OF THE POW-MIA MONUMENT IN WATERLOO, ILLINOIS

                                  _____

                     Wednesday, September 18, 2019

  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the unveiling of 
the POW-MIA monument in Waterloo, Illinois this weekend. Waterloo was 
named an official ``POW-MIA'' city earlier this year by the Jefferson 
Barracks POW-MIA Museum.
  With National POW-MIA Day occurring this weekend, it is important to 
remember the 82,000 men and women who served our country and did not 
come home. This new monument honors the bravery and sacrifice of these 
American patriots and ensures that those who have not been accounted 
for remain in our thoughts and prayers.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this momentous occasion 
for the people of Waterloo and the American heroes they honor.
