                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 1, 2021

  Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
Anniversary of the opening of William Beaumont Army Medical Center in 
Fort Bliss, Texas.
  The William Beaumont Army Medical Center first opened in July 1, 1921 
and has since become a major medical asset for the U.S. Army--serving 
the needs of countless soldiers, veterans, military families, and El 
Paso residents. Whether through assisting victims of the August 3rd, 
2019 domestic terrorist shooting or working day and night during the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the medical center has always helped our community 
and continues to be an invaluable resource for El Pasoans.
  As the United States Army prepares to open one of the most advanced 
medical facilities in the country, the El Paso community is thankful 
for the Army's support and wishes William Beaumont Army Medical Center 
the best of luck as it begins its years of service.
  Again, I am pleased to recognize the opening of William Beaumont Army 
Medical Center
