“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, first, let me thank all of the men and women who have sacrificed and served this Nation.

I would think that not one person would deny them this right.

I support this legislation, and I support the people who support it. Anybody who doesn't should not be in this building.”
