Recognizing the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, as a

country through service in World War I.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 23, 2000
Mr. Bond (for himself, Mr. Ashcroft, and Mr. Roberts) submitted the
following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, as a
national World War I symbol honoring those who defended liberty and our
country through service in World War I.
Whereas over 4 million Americans served in World War I, however, there is no
nationally recognized symbol honoring the service of such Americans;
Whereas in 1919, citizens of Kansas City expressed an outpouring of support,
raising over $2,000,000 in 2 weeks, which was a fundraising
accomplishment unparalleled by any other city in the United States
irrespective of population;
Whereas on November 1, 1921, the monument site was dedicated marking the only
time in history that the 5 Allied military leaders (Lieutenant General
Baron Jacques of Belgium, General Armando Diaz of Italy, Marshal
Ferdinand Foch of France, General John J. Pershing of the United States,
and Admiral Lord Earl Beatty of Great Britain) were together at one
place;
Whereas during a solemn ceremony on Armistice Day in 1924, President Calvin
Coolidge marked the beginning of a 3-year construction project by the
laying of the corner-stone of the Liberty Memorial;
Whereas the 217-foot Memorial Tower topped with 4 stone ``Guardian Spirits''
representing courage, honor, patriotism, and sacrifice, rises above the
observation deck, making the Liberty Memorial a noble tribute to all who
served;
Whereas during a rededication of the Liberty Memorial in 1961, former Presidents
Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower recognized the memorial as a
constant reminder of the sacrifices during World War I and the progress
that followed;
Whereas the Liberty Memorial is the only public museum in the United States
specifically dedicated to the history of World War I; and
Whereas the Liberty Memorial is internationally known as a major center of World
War I remembrance: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, is recognized as a
national World War I symbol, honoring those who defended liberty and
our country through service in World War I.
