Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the No Veteran Dies Alone program at the veterans hospital in Fresno, California. During the holiday season, it is appropriate to give thanks. Members of the military follow the sacred oath of ``leave no man behind.'' The No Veteran Dies Alone program follows the ethos that ensures all veterans know that they are not forgotten in their remaining days. Men and women, some of whom work at the hospital, volunteer their time to care for those who have worn the uniform of the U.S. military. This innovative volunteer program helps our veteran hospice patients spend their final days in friendship and warmth. During the holiday season, may we seek to lead lives as compassionately as the volunteers who selflessly serve our veterans in the No Veteran Dies Alone program. ____________________
