  RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF CRESTWOOD, MISSOURI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANN WAGNER

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 27, 2022

  Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing 
community in my district. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the 
City of Crestwood, Missouri.
  With a population of over 12,000 proud Americans, Crestwood has grown 
into a vibrant city since its incorporation in 1947. From its steadfast 
and hardworking Police and Fire Departments to its dedicated Parks and 
Recreation and Public Works Departments, the local government of 
Crestwood continues to provide outstanding public service to the 
families living there.
  Crestwood is also a city rich in history. It is the burial place of 
Sergeant John S. Sappington, who fought alongside George Washington 
during the Revolutionary War, and the city sits directly adjacent to 
the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, or White Haven, where the 
former President and Civil War General lived with his family.
  Crestwood remains an incredible community to raise a family, with 
numerous outstanding schools, parks, and recreational facilities in the 
area. I want to thank the caring residents and public servants of 
Crestwood, who continue to work together to improve their community, 
and I have no doubt that the next 75 years will be even greater than 
the last.
