Military families they are speaking to make, and what its like to be one of them. And so they speak obviously from their own personal experience. And, you know, we will tune in when the president starts speaking about what message he wants to send this memorial day. We know this has long been something that the first lady has made a priority. She, even as second lady, during the obama administration, working with the former first Lady Michelle obama, made working with and supporting military families a priority, a project that they made sure stayed at the forefront of the administration. And thats something they are continuing to do memorial day weekend. Lets listen flou to the first lady, dr. Jill biden. And we must do everything we can to help them carry the weight of their grief, and always, always honor their service. Ten years ago first Lady Michelle obama and i created joining joining forces.

We should never stop fighting for folks who are part of our american family, people like john lewis told us this work would be long and hard, but it is righteous. Have hadme time i legislative highs, being the lead republican with my friend to get the National Museum of out ofino act passed this house of representatives. After 26 years, we finally did it.

Different colors. All woven and held together by a single precious thread of democracy. Paul has taught us so much and as students who followed him, worked with him, believed with him, loved him and now miss him, we could never, ever be more thankful. With that, mr. Trone and mr. Speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. Mr. Trone i recognize mr. Levin. Mr. Levin thank you very much for recognizing me, mr. Trone and i thank the majority leader for organizing this.

He managed to support him in 2020 as well. [laughter] now, i know you consider president reagan your political hero, governor, but that, sir, thats real dedication. And by the way, you didnt have to do that just to be invited here today. [laughter] ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank you for joining us. Were honored to welcome you virtua
