“in the wake of the most horrific attack in the United States history, we have seen many modern American heroes among us. Today's heroes are firefighters, police officers, chaplains, paramedics, steelworkers and those who have fought to prevent further destruction, and the families of the victims who display the strength of going on and living. Their heroism is in the spirit of those who have gone before them such as Martin Luther King, Junior, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Cesar Chavez, former founding president of the United Farm Workers. Today, Mr. Speaker, I proudly introduce this bill that will honor one of our past heroes, Cesar Estrada Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers and passionate champion of human and civil rights. These values and beliefs and dedication to all working men and women, regardless of socioeconomic background, make him truly an American hero. This bill will highlight his contributions by studying the ways to honor him within the National Park Service.”
