Thank you, Representative Garamendi. Let me also thank our military, our active forces out there as we speak who are defending us in some very far-off places, deserted deserts and mountains that extract great courage and commitment to this Nation and her cause. You know, again, so many veterans returning are looking for work. There ought not be a battlefield in their homeland to find a job, and it's why the American Jobs Act makes it possible for businesses to realize benefits when they hire our veterans, when they hire the active military that are returning, and that's a commitment that ought to be understood by all of us. That's a commitment that should be part and parcel to unanimity in this House. Let's go forward with something like the American Jobs Act.
