        Affairs Medical Center at Mountain Home, Tennessee, will host the

Whereas the games are a national multi-event sports and recreational competition 
        for veterans, age 55 and over, who are currently receiving medical care 
        from the Department of Veterans Affairs;
Whereas sports and recreation are integral components in the rehabilitative 
        medicine programs offered at Veterans Administration hospitals, and help 
        improve the health and quality of life for older veterans;
Whereas veteran athletes from across the United States will compete in events 
        and competitions at the games;
Whereas the National Veterans Golden Age Games Program serves as a showcase for 
        the prevention and therapeutic medical value that sports and recreation 
        provide in the lives of all older Americans; and
Whereas the games provide further recognition of the valiant service given to 
        the Nation by its veterans: Now, therefore, be it
