Sanford Bishop: “Mr. Speaker, this bill is designed to increase the size of the Andersonville National Historic Site in Andersonville…”

“Mr. Speaker, this bill is designed to increase the size of the Andersonville National Historic Site in Andersonville, Georgia, which is the site of America's only official National Prisoner of War Museum, exhibit, and the Andersonville National POW Cemetery. It is necessary to expand the size because it is statutorily limited. In order to make the road safer and provide for better security, the Friends of Andersonville, a 501(c)(3) corporation, purchased the land and wishes to donate it. With this legislation, it can receive the land. The land can be made safer, and the Prisoners of War and America's people can properly recognize and commend the work of our POWs.”
