“I have no further speakers. I yield myself such time as I may consume. It just strikes me, Colonel Cook, I know we have named this act the HIRE Vets Act, and knowing of your service in Vietnam, and so many of the Vietnam veterans that live in the Inland Empire, we could also call this the Welcome Home Act because nothing is more welcoming than a job. I share your passion for caring about our veterans in the Inland Empire, and in California, of course, all over our country, and I certainly honor your service to our country. So I urge all my colleagues to support--to join me in passing H.R. 3286, and I look forward to seeing those medallions in many businesses across your district and mine in California. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
