  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize American Legion 
Post 164 in Katy, Texas for their efforts to honor our fallen service 
members this holiday season.
  As Americans, we know that some of our military service members make 
the ultimate sacrifice to protect and preserve our way of life. The 
Wreaths Across America program is a solemn way to honor and remember 
our fallen heroes by distributing a token of our appreciation and 
remembrance at this time of year.
  American Legion Post 164 worked incredibly hard gathering sponsors to 
fund their goal of placing 450 wreaths this year. They surpassed this 
goal in their gracious efforts to remember our fallen warriors, 
securing enough sponsors to fund over 500 wreaths for the Magnolia 
Cemetery.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
thank Post 164 for their valiant work to ensure our fallen service 
members are never forgotten during the holidays and throughout the 
year.
