The highlight of my month really, though, was the annual Somerset County 4-H Fair, which is my home county which I am very proud of. We talk about our fair as the largest free fair east of the Mississippi, and we believe that it is. It is a 3-day event. This was our 49th annual fair, and typically during that 3 days we have anywhere between 75,000 and 80,000 people attend the event. It is one that I am proud to be a part of. I have been an adult volunteer there for many years and mainly because of the wholesome environment and wholesome activities that the 4-H program provides. We, again, in our county are proud of the fact that it is the largest 4-H program in the State of New Jersey and one that I know is prevalent in many communities throughout the United States and really throughout the world.

These benefits have been earned. They have been paid for through veteran service, and we have got to reflect that in law.
