                                 ______

                         Thursday, May 20, 2021

  Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the centennial 
of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
  On November 11, 2021, Veteran's Day, the United States will mark 100 
years since the internment of an unidentifiable member of the American 
Expeditionary Forces of World War I at Arlington National Cemetery.
  The place of interment has come to be known as the Tomb of the 
Unknown Soldier and is regarded as America's most sacred shrine. It is 
dedicated to all veterans that have served and made the ultimate 
sacrifice on behalf of our great nation.
  My congressional district is home to over 70,000 veterans and their 
families; and on this day and every day, we honor ALL who served and 
continue to serve our country.

                          ____________________
