                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 22, 2008

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the Wounded 
Warrior Project for its annual Soldier Ride--2008 High Desert Challenge 
and the sponsor of the challenge, U-Haul.
  The nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization 
that follows their mission, honors and empowers wounded veterans 
through raising public awareness, enlisting aid for those severely 
injured, and providing programs and services to those with special 
needs.
  The Soldier Ride--2008 High Desert Challenge is a rehabilitative 
program that provides the opportunity for wounded veterans to regain an 
active lifestyle. This three-day bicycle ride from Phoenix to Las Vegas 
is a remarkable way to honor those wounded during their brave service 
to our country and to raise money to further the mission of the Wounded 
Warrior Project.
  I congratulate the Wounded Warriors Project for recognizing the 
significant sacrifices these soldiers have made for our country and 
community, and continuing to serve these brave men and women through 
fundraising projects such as the Soldier Ride. I would also like to 
recognize U-Haul for sponsoring the event.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Wounded Warrior 
Project and their fundraising efforts, as well as their dedicated 
sponsor, U-Haul.
