Steven Horsford said "I come to the floor today to commemorate my home State of Nevada's upcoming birthday on March 21, which will mark 150 years since Nevada was admitted to the Union in 1864. On that historic day, President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation allowing the Nevada Territory to draft its own constitution and form a State government, making us a true ``Battle Born State.'' Throughout its history, Nevada has embodied the rugged and adventurous spirit of the West. People from all walks of life have journeyed to our State to seek new opportunities, eventually settling down and contributing to Nevada's rich diversity. On March 21, Nevada will come together to celebrate our State's history and achievements, but we will also be looking toward the future. Nevada's best days are yet ahead, and I look forward to seeing what comes next. Happy birthday, Nevada. ___________________
