                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 13, 2001

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the importance of 
the Missouri Veterans' Home located in Cameron, Missouri. A landmark in 
the community, the Cameron Veterans' Home provides a healing hand to 
those honored Americans that have fought to preserve the privileges of 
freedom we all enjoy today.
  In April of 2000, Missouri's sixth veterans home admitted its first 
resident. The Cameron Veterans' Home today is a 200-bed facility 
committed to providing a service to Missouri's Veterans.
  Cameron Veterans' Home is dedicated to providing quality healthcare 
to veterans and assists them in achieving their maximum level of 
independence. The Cameron Veterans' Home works to ensure a safe, 
comfortable environment to its residents conducive to personal dignity 
and happiness in a community living setting.
  In recognition to the staff of the Cameron Veterans' Home and the 
City of Cameron which supports our Veterans so well, I commend the 
Cameron Veterans' Home for the unconditioned level of support and 
compassion they extend to those brave Americans that have sacrificed 
their lives for this great nation.
