Political Quotes

On the recordJune 20, 2023
Let me first thank all of our veterans who have dedicated their lives to service. Their dedication to our country and commitment to preserving our freedoms is greatly appreciated. As our Nation's servicemembers complete their final tour and begin their transition back to civilian life, it is important that we provide opportunities for them to pursue the American Dream. Owning and running a successful small business is the epitome of that dream. Codifying the Boots to Business Program would allow thousands of servicemembers, their spouses, and veterans to receive vital training on how to build a successful small business. I thank Mr. Schneider, Chairman Williams, Mr. McGarvey, and Mr. Ellzey for their bipartisan work on this bill. Mr. Speaker, I strongly support the Veterans Entrepreneurship Training Act, as amended, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
