Washington D.C.____ Friday morning, July 26,
2019, Representative Paul Cook (R-Apple Valley) joined a bipartisan group of
fellow Representatives, to wash the Vietnam Veterans Memorial by hand to show
respect and gratitude for those who lost their lives in Vietnam.
Constructed in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial is a 2-acre U.S. National Memorial that honors service members of the
U.S. Armed Forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in
service in Vietnam, and those service members who were unaccounted for during
the war.
Representative
Cook said, “It was very moving to join my
colleagues this morning at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial as we paid tribute to
the more than 58,000 men and women who perished in Vietnam. Many of them served
alongside me, but didn’t make it home. We must never forget their service or
their sacrifice. Our nation is forever in debt.”
