                         Tuesday, June 12, 2001

  Mr. OSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the West Sacramento 
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 8762 for establishing an All Wars 
Veterans' Memorial in West Sacramento, California. After several years 
of hard work and planning, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 8762 
established a Veteran's Plaza on the City of West Sacramento's scenic 
riverfront as a tribute to the hundreds of thousands of America's 
military veterans who have served their country during all its wars. I 
am pleased to report that June 16, 2001 will mark the completion of the 
first-ever all wars veterans' memorial in the city of West Sacramento. 
I commend VFW Post No. 8762 for their dedication to serving our 
veterans, in addition to their constant vigilance in remembering 
America's Prisoners of War/Missing in Action veterans.
