“Today I rise on National Medal of Honor Day to recognize the recipients of our Nation's highest military distinction for acts above and beyond the call of duty. Twenty-five Medal of Honor recipients hail from Arkansas. Their stories of self-sacrifice are not forgotten. Today, we pay tribute to those individuals for their meticulous service, sacrifice, and heroism. I would like to also recognize and thank Arkansas Boy Scout Donald J. Fitzgerald for his outstanding work to preserve the legacy of Medal of Honor recipients and their stories. Over the last 3 years, Donald has visited the graves of over 160 Medal of Honor recipients, documenting several Medal of Honor recipients' stories and lives. He chose to share with the world what he learned, and wrote a book about his travels titled, ``Our Missions of Honor''. I applaud Donald for his initiative, his efforts, and dedication to all Medal of Honor recipients past and present. We pray that their efforts may be long remembered by our citizens.
