This Saturday is Veterans Day, a day to reflect on the bravery and the commitment of our servicemembers and to thank them for their dedication to our Nation. From the Greatest Generation who served in World War II to the veterans who traversed the harsh jungles of Vietnam, to the young people who took up the banner and persisted in the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan and in Iraq, we owe our veterans an endless debt of gratitude. It is our responsibility to provide for our servicemembers when they heed the call to serve, as well as to care for them when they return home. Mr. Speaker, we must fulfill our promises to our veterans and deliver on the promises, the benefits that they have earned. We need to make sure that we end veterans' homelessness. Whether it be ensuring timely access to quality healthcare, enabling the pursuit of educational opportunities, or providing the tools to start their own business, let us reaffirm to our veterans that they will have the support and the services that they need following their service. To all our veterans, thank you for your service. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States of America. ____________________
