“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2717, the Hershel ``Woody'' Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act, introduced by our colleague from Utah, Representative Blake Moore. This legislation would authorize the construction of a Medal of Honor memorial on The National Mall. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded to individuals whose extraordinary acts of valor, selfless service, and sacrifice exceed the call of duty. This memorial would honor over 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, ensuring that their courage, sacrifice, patriotism, citizenship, integrity, and commitment to preserving this great democracy of ours are preserved for generations to come. I thank Representative Moore and cosponsor Representative Marc Veasey for their leadership on this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the bill. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
