Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank Kids for Vets, which raised over $10,000 through lemonade stands for veteran causes in the Quad Cities. As a 24-year Army veteran, it warms my heart to see America's youth so deeply concerned about our servicemembers. Kids for Vets partners with amazing nonprofit organizations, such as the Quad Cities Outreach Center and SEAL Family Legacy, to provide support to Gold Star families, food banks, job placement, housing assistance, and so much more for America's heroes. Because of the outstanding work of Kids for Vets and their partners, veterans in the Quad Cities and greater eastern Iowa have a support system that puts their essential needs first. Mr. Speaker, I applaud the amazing work of Kids for Vets, and I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting and thanking this incredible organization. {time} 1215 Congratulating Matt Stutzman
