                           VETERAN'S MEMORIAL

  Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, I rise today on behalf of all Arkansans 
to recognize the veterans who have served in our Armed Forces. A 
beautiful memorial in Saline County, AK, has been built, and will be 
dedicated on July 10, to honor those who have protected and served our 
country. All service men and women are being honored, including my 
father, who served in Korea. He taught me at a very early age to have 
tremendous respect for those who have fought to defend our freedom. Not 
only will this memorial honor our veterans, it will also remind future 
generations of the sacrifices that were made for this great country.
  I also wish to recognize those who brought this day together for our 
Veterans. Judge Lanny Fite, State Representative Dwight Fite, the 
Saline County Veteran's Board, Jack McCray, Gary Ballard, and many 
others have given of themselves to make this memorial possible. I am 
grateful for their efforts to honor the men and women who serve our 
Nation in uniform. This memorial is a fitting tribute of which Saline 
County and our entire State can be proud.
