Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in strong support of S. 1282, which names three veterans clinics in Montana. Again, I will reiterate what I said earlier, that sometimes I hear people disparagingly talk about how we are not doing anything in Congress except naming VA clinics and post offices. That is right. We are naming three VA clinics for three American heroes again. You just heard Chairman Roe give the stories of David Thatcher, Ben Steele, and Dakaak Baako and what they did for this Nation. These are movie scripts in any other world, except this is real life, real American heroes who did exactly what was asked of them and then, in each one of these cases, returned back home to build this Nation. I oftentimes, and I will continue to say it, when you drive by a VA clinic and there is a name on it, google it, because you will be amazed at what your fellow citizens can do. Mr. Speaker, I encourage a ``yes'' vote on this piece of legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
