Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fort Hood on their 80th anniversary marked this week.

Recognized as ``The Great Place,'' Fort Hood has a rich history and is composed of great patriots who selflessly and honorably serve this country.

This largest Active-Duty armored post has answered the call to serve throughout our country's military history and has been an invaluable installation for Army soldiers, advanced weaponry, and the local community.

Whenever I am asked where the next generation of greatness is and leaders will be, I say: Go with me. Go to Fort Hood. That is where they are.

Fort Hood is a special part of Texas' 25th District, and it is my distinct honor to represent them in Congress and fight on behalf of the brave soldiers and their families each and every single day in Washington.

Congratulations to Fort Hood for 80 years of exceptional service to the United States Army and dedication to defending our freedoms at home and abroad.

In God We Trust.
