Recognizing the Life and Legacy of Bill Steiner
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life and legacy of Bill Steiner, who devoted his career to making Orange County a better place.
He held many elected positions, serving on the Orange Unified School District school board, the Orange City Council, and the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
However, his true passion was his work for children. Mr. Steiner founded the Orangewood Children's Home in Orange and the Good Samaritan Boy's Home in Corona. He also served on the board of directors for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for over 16 years.
While we miss him dearly, his legacy lives on and his organizations will have an untold impact on countless children.
He is also an active member of the Rotary Club of Orange. In that capacity, Mr. Steiner epitomized the motto ``Service Above Self,'' and we are all better because of his tireless work. We will miss him dearly. Celebrating Villa Park's 61st Birthday

Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to celebrate the incorporation date of the city of Villa Park. Villa Park, known as the Hidden Jewel, was incorporated on this day in 1962 but was first settled around 1860.
Despite being the smallest incorporated city in California's 40th District, in both land and population, Villa Park has an outsized impact on our community. It is home to four public schools and is known for its charitable organizations and programs, such as Villa Park Rotary Club, Villa Park Women's League, and the Marine Thanksgiving program.
Villa Park's quiet neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and low crime rate make the city an excellent place to live.
As your Representative, I am committed to doing all I can to help Villa Park continue to be a haven for families and workers striving toward their American Dream.
Happy 61st birthday, Villa Park. Recognizing Korean American Day
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Korean American Day.
Since the first Korean immigrants arrived on January 13, 1903, Korean Americans have made their mark from sea to shining sea and have found success in the classroom, workplace, and even right here in Congress to make our Nation a better place.
As one of the first Korean-American women to serve in Congress, and as an immigrant from South Korea, today, I reflect on the sacrifices my family made in the aftermath of the Korean war to have the chance at a better life here in the United States.
I remain grateful for those who came before me and paved the way for someone like me to have a seat at the table, and I will always fight for freedom and opportunity for all Americans.
