I would just appeal to my colleagues that ``thank you for your service'' is just not enough anymore for our veterans. We need to step up. We need to make sure that they know we are here and we have their back when they need the services at the end of their tenure in the armed services. Mr. Chair, this is an important amendment. I urge my colleagues to support it. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Carbajal). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 29 Offered by Mr. Keating The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 29 printed in part B of House Report 115-712.
