Virginia Foxx said "We owe our military veterans a huge debt of gratitude, and we must make sure they are well supported as they transition back into the civilian workforce. This amendment encourages the CSBG program to meet the needs of low- income veterans, especially homeless veterans. It is surprising to me that we need to put such an amendment in this bill because we would think that the CSBG program would already be doing it. But since this is a worthy goal and one that I support, I will support this amendment. In fact, Madam Speaker, I wear a pin every day with the United States flag, the North Carolina flag, and a banner under it that says: ``I support veterans.'' Therefore, I must support an amendment that would support veterans. While I have concerns with the underlying bill, I think this is a good amendment, and I appreciate the gentleman offering it. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
