house 09/19/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to honor the history and significance of the United States-Mexican War by co-designating Arlington Memorial Bridge as a memorial, adding thoughtful interpretive elements without impacting the bridge’s use or structure. This will create a national focal point for remembrance and education about this important chapter in our nation's past.

It’s about time we salute those old war heroes on a national landmark. What’s next? Honoring courage without rewriting history or pandering.

It’s smart to use what we’ve got instead of building more stuff; practical memory never hurts. Now if only every bill came with this minimal fuss.

Recognizing overlooked wars keeps us honest, but let’s keep it tasteful—plaques, not monuments. History doesn’t need more stone statues, just smarter signs.

If we want unity, let’s start by telling the full story, not just trophies on a bridge. History is messy; our memorials should reflect that honest complexity.

Preserving our legacy without spending a dime—finally, a win for common sense. Let the past remind us how far we've come without wasting taxpayer money.

Co-designation is a start, but don’t forget the voices missing from this narrative. Let’s honor all sides, especially those who got the short end of the Treaty.

A bridge between histories and perspectives—this co-designation feels like the right balance. It honors the past without turning traffic into a history lesson.

A modest tribute on an existing bridge? That’s patriotism in a nutshell—no big government overreach, just respect for tradition.

Finally, a nod to a forgotten chapter—history shouldn’t erase the tough parts. Recognize the war, but let’s not romanticize conquest.
