                        VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am grateful that our 
office is participating in the Veterans History Project. This project 
is an ongoing effort by the Library of Congress to collect and preserve 
personal accounts by American military veterans and families.
  I have had the opportunity to meet with local veterans in Aiken and 
the Midlands to encourage participation. The narratives recorded 
through this project keep history alive for future generations.
  Coordinating the project is Purple Heart recipient Jeffrey Crosby. 
Across America, citizens can participate at website loc.gov/vets.
  As a veteran, as the son of a Flying Tiger with service in India and 
China, and as the father of four sons who have served overseas in the 
Army National Guard and the Navy, I am thankful for the project.
  Congratulations, President Donald Trump, with news today that his 
policies of creating jobs have led to South Carolina's lowest 
unemployment level in history at 2.6 percent--opportunities for all 
according to WVOC.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
