               RECOGNIZING THE MONTANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

 Mr. SHEEHY. Mr. President, as we celebrate the 250th year of 
our country, it is my honor to recognize Molly Kruckenberg and the 
talented staff at the Montana Historical Society for their dedicated 
work to showcase Montana history at the state-of-the-art Montana 
Heritage Center in Helena, MT.
  History is more than a subject taught in school; it is a practical 
guide for leadership and decision making. The successes and failures of 
the generations that came before us offer valuable lessons to those 
willing to understand them. I carry that perspective into public 
service every day, and it is why the Montana Heritage Center was a 
project our family was proud to support.
  More than a decade in the making, the new Montana Heritage Center is 
an investment in preserving Montana's story and ensuring future 
generations understand the people, values, and events that shaped 
Montana. This world-class center reminds us that good policy is 
strengthened by historical perspective and an appreciation for the 
enduring principles that guide our Nation and Montana.
  The opening of the Montana Heritage Center would not have been 
possible without Molly and her staff, and they deserve every 
recognition for their efforts.
