Ms. McBRIDE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary work of Ms. Emily Green, a teacher in the POLYTECH School District in Woodside, Delaware.

Through her participation in National History Day, Ms. Green has worked with her students to preserve the stories of Delaware's silent heroes, everyday individuals who answered the call to serve our Nation.

This past school year, Ms. Green and her students chose to research two Korean war veterans. They researched the lives that these veterans led before their service, the communities they returned to, and the legacies they left behind not only as servicemembers but as local leaders.

Ms. Green and her students visited cemeteries across Delaware where they honored these veterans by writing and delivering eulogies, ensuring that their stories, sacrifices, and names are remembered.

This project reflects the very best of Delaware. I am grateful to Ms. Green for teaching her students our Nation's history and respect for our silent heroes.
