so i have introduced legislation along with my friend from missouri, emanuel cleaver, to have legislation that will do three things. first of all, it will take this memorial that you see in the back, the world war i d.c. memorial, at the time this photograph was taken it was in a state of disrepair, it's since been repaired by the national park service, which oversees the memorial, take this memorial, honor the d.c. vets, and expand it to include and make it the district of columbia and national world war i memorial. maybe even give more recognition to the people of d.c. who built the memorial, the school children who collected money so that it could be built many years ago. but make it a memorial for all who served in the world war i. the second thing it would do is also designate the liberty memorial in kansas city as the world war i museum. which would be in kansas city, missouri. you see it is the museum in the united states that honors and recognizes the history of world war i. and in the third thing this bill would do is set up a commission so that america can commemorate world war
