                     RECOGNIZING THE ROAD OF HONOR

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise this morning to recognize 
the Road of Honor leading to the Keokuk National Cemetery in Keokuk, 
Iowa.
  This week, we are scheduled to have a groundbreaking for the new Road 
of Honor, which comes after my office secured almost a million dollars 
in Federal funding to repave it.
  When local and State officials were unable to get the funding, my 
office was able to deliver Federal Community Project Funding to repave 
the road so that Iowans could properly honor our departed veterans.
  This was made possible after Iowa State Senator Jeff Reichman and 
Representative Martin Graber first brought the project to my attention. 
I also thank Keokuk Mayor Kathie Mahoney for her involvement as the 
Federal funds were disbursed.
  As a 24-year Army veteran, it is a privilege and an honor to 
recognize the Road of Honor and Keokuk National Cemetery on the House 
floor. I look forward to visiting again soon to honor the veterans that 
are buried there.
  In Washington, I will continue to fight to deliver results for our 
veterans and for Iowa. May God bless our troops and our veterans, and 
may God always bless America.
