Mr. Speaker, next week this Nation will celebrate Veterans Day, where we rightly pay tribute to the members of our military, past and present, and honor them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Liberty is bought and paid for by the incomprehensible generosity of these patriots. We also honor the commitment and sacrifices of our military families by celebrating Military Family Month in November. Through deployments, separations, and moves across the country and overseas, these families inspire us as they endure the extended absence of their loved ones with grace, strength, and devotion. America is the land of the free because we are the home of the brave. I thank our veterans for seeing the value of freedom and rising to America's defense with unfailing strength. I thank our military families for standing with our servicemembers, supporting that great bravery, and sharing in the sacrifice. ____________________
