  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Tri-City 
Community Development Corporation on the occasion of their Memorial Day 
Salute to Veterans Ceremony in Detroit, Michigan. The group's work to 
improve the lives of our entire community and honor our servicemembers 
is worthy of commendation.
  Today and every day, we honor the veterans of the greater Detroit 
area and honor those brave and patriotic servicemembers who we have 
lost. Freedom is not free, and today we pause to remember those who 
gave their

all for their country. We commend our veterans for their honorable 
service to this country and all of the work they continue to do for our 
communities. We are proud to honor and recognize them this Memorial Day 
at the future site of Eden Park.
  Eden Park is a vibrant outdoor area located in Southwest Detroit and 
will be the first park in Michigan catered specifically for Alzheimer's 
patients and their caregivers. It will also offer senior, veteran, and 
disabled citizens' accommodations. This environmentally conscious park 
will contain beautiful botanical gardens, large and eco-friendly trees, 
raised vegetable gardens, walking paths, a playground for children, an 
amphitheater, a veteran's memorial, and other picnic and play 
opportunities.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Board 
of Directors and Staff of Tri-City Community Development Corporation 
and the Eden Park Community Project Steering Committee on this day. We 
would especially like to thank Crystal Ancrum, Reverend William J. 
Price, and Miranda White-Redley who all served our country honorably in 
the United States Army and put together this special event. We are 
thankful for the work that this organization has done to improve the 
lives of Detroiters through their tireless advocacy and look forward to 
the opening of Eden Park. I thank them for coming together today to 
honor those who have served our country.
