Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2365, offered by Congressman Kim, would extend the authorization of the Gold Stars Mothers National Monument Foundation to construct the Gold Star National Mothers Monument. Legislation signed into law during the 112th Congress authorized the Gold Star Mothers National Monument Foundation to erect a monument on Federal lands in Washington, D.C., that would honor mothers whose children gave the last full measure of devotion defending the United States as members of the Armed Forces. This bill would allow more time for the Foundation to ensure the monument's construction and completion by extending the authorization until January 2, 2027. We can never fully understand the lifelong grief that these Gold Star Mothers must face, and I hope that this new memorial serves as a collective place for them to heal and remember their brave children who valiantly fought to defend our country. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.
