Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the beginning of Nowruz, an exuberant occasion for the Persian people across the entire world that marks the beginning of the Persian New Year and spring. During this time, many pause to reflect upon and recognize the blessings of the previous year. Many also take this time to look forward to the coming spring with optimism and gratitude. Persian culture, and the contributions made to broader civil society through it, deserve to be celebrated by all. I wish members of the Persian community, both within the United States and across the world, a joyous and memorable holiday. ____________________
