Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing community in my district. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the City of Crestwood, Missouri.

With a population of over 12,000 proud Americans, Crestwood has grown into a vibrant city since its incorporation in 1947. From its steadfast and hardworking Police and Fire Departments to its dedicated Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments, the local government of Crestwood continues to provide outstanding public service to the families living there.

Crestwood is also a city rich in history. It is the burial place of Sergeant John S. Sappington, who fought alongside George Washington during the Revolutionary War, and the city sits directly adjacent to the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, or White Haven, where the former President and Civil War General lived with his family.

Crestwood remains an incredible community to raise a family, with numerous outstanding schools, parks, and recreational facilities in the area. I want to thank the caring residents and public servants of Crestwood, who continue to work together to improve their community, and I have no doubt that the next 75 years will be even greater than the last.
