I want him to know that there are many of us who are with him every step of the way. Madam Speaker, tonight I rise in honor of Women's History Month. In 1987, Congress passed a resolution designating the month of March as Women's History Month, and a time to honor, and I quote, ``American women of every race, class and ethnic background who have made historic contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways.'' For 2002, the theme of Women's History Month has been ``Women Sustaining the American Spirit.'' To celebrate this month, I would like to honor four of the numerous women from Wisconsin's history that have sustained the American spirit.
