                   MEMORIAL DAY IN FOREST HILL, TEXAS

  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the citizens of Forest

Hill, Texas, for their recent Memorial Day celebration to honor the 
military service contributions of the men and women of our Armed Forces 
as well as our public safety officers who have lost their lives in that 
city in the line of duty.
  I was proud to attend the ceremony, which included 375 names of men 
and women who have proudly served the city of Forest Hill and lived 
there and have lost their lives in the line of duty.
  Also at the park is the Court of Honor, where the names of prisoners 
of war and the missing in action serve as a solemn reminder of the 
sacrifices for freedom.
  We must remember--perhaps now more than ever--that our debt of 
gratitude for veterans that have served us can never be repaid in full, 
but we owe it to them to keep our commitments to them as a country.
  I would like to thank the citizens of Forest Hill for their display 
of thanks and respect.
