Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the unveiling of the POW-MIA monument in Waterloo, Illinois this weekend. Waterloo was named an official ``POW-MIA'' city earlier this year by the Jefferson Barracks POW-MIA Museum.
With National POW-MIA Day occurring this weekend, it is important to remember the 82,000 men and women who served our country and did not come home. This new monument honors the bravery and sacrifice of these American patriots and ensures that those who have not been accounted for remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this momentous occasion for the people of Waterloo and the American heroes they honor.
