Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support National Veterans Small Business Week, which will take place from November 4 through November 8. Our veterans are some of the most highly skilled workers in our Nation. They are the product of rigorous training, an ironclad commitment to teamwork, and the remarkable ability to succeed where others might fail. Veterans not only fight for and protect this country but are trained with the skills and leadership qualities that are needed to own and operate successful businesses. Our veteran small business owners are job creators, entrepreneurs, and heroes, and I am proud to recognize the important role that veteran-owned small businesses play in our community, and we thank all of them, from a grateful Congress, for their service. ____________________
