 RECOGNIZING 25 YEARS OF MACARTHUR MUSEUM OF ARKANSAS MILITARY HISTORY

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 25th 
anniversary of the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, an 
institution dedicated to preserving our State's proud military heritage 
and honoring the Arkansans who have served our Nation.
  Since opening its doors in 2001, the museum has welcomed more than 
750,000 visitors from all 50 States and more than 60 countries. Located 
in the historic Tower Building at the Little Rock Arsenal, the 
birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur, the museum offers visitors a 
unique opportunity to learn about Arkansas' long tradition of military 
service and the men and women who have worn our Nation's uniform.
  The Little Rock Arsenal has played an important role in our Nation's 
history for more than 175 years. Preserved as the home of the MacArthur 
Museum of Arkansas Military History, the site remains a lasting symbol 
of patriotism, sacrifice, and service. The museum shares the stories of 
Arkansans who served in conflicts from the Civil War through the 
Vietnam war, ensuring their contributions are remembered for 
generations to come.
  For 25 years, the museum has educated visitors, honored veterans, and 
preserved the legacy of those who defended our freedoms. Its commitment 
to safeguarding The Natural State's military history has strengthened 
appreciation for the courage and sacrifice demonstrated by generations 
of servicemembers.
  I congratulate the staff, volunteers, supporters, and community 
partners who have contributed to the museum's success over the past 
quarter century. As the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History 
celebrates this milestone, I join Arkansans in wishing its leadership 
and entire team many more successful years of preserving our State's 
military history and sharing the stories of the servicemembers and 
veterans who have helped to defend our Nation.
