                     Wednesday, September 16, 2015

  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the Veterans 
Wall of Freedom, a monument to be erected in Grand Terrace, California. 
This memorial will honor the service, sacrifice and spirit of our 
nation's veterans, hundreds of thousands of whom called the Inland 
Empire home.
  This will memorialize the brave men and women who gave the ultimate 
sacrifice in the name of freedom and liberty. We will never forget what 
they did for our nation, risking their lives to keep us safe and free. 
For over two hundred years, brave Americans have put their lives in 
harm's way for the sake of our country. The Veterans Wall of Freedom 
will

allow us to pay tribute to those courageous souls, and to teach future 
generations of their selflessness and sacrifice.
  The Veterans Wall of Freedom will serve as a constant reminder of the 
fearless Americans who lived beside us for decades and through multiple 
wars, and what they did to protect our families, communities and 
country.
