      RECOGNIZING THE RECENT OPENING OF FOREST HILL MEMORIAL PARK

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the recent opening 
of the Forest Hill Memorial Park in the 33rd Congressional District. 
The park was opened for all citizens to honor the military service 
contributions of our men and women in uniform.
  This special memorial park includes the engraved names of the local 
brave men and women who served in all branches of the U.S. military. 
There's also a monument honoring local prisoners of war and missing 
soldiers, and a monument honoring Forest Hill public safety officers 
who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
  I attended the dedication ceremony for the park on Memorial Day, and 
I can personally attest to the fact that it truly honors the veterans 
of Forest Hill and the surrounding communities across the United 
States. I commend Forest Hill elected officials who worked tirelessly 
to bring such a park to the north Texas community.
