                         IN HONOR OF TEAM 4MIL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 2, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Team 4Mil as they 
continue their mission to inspire, invigorate, and support wounded 
veterans through rehabilitative cycling programs and competitions.
  Team 4Mil is a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity 
comprised of veterans from all branches of the United States military. 
This group of athletes has joined together to produce a cycling team 
which competes annually in Race Across America, RAAM, in order to 
generate support and promote the Wounded Warrior Project. This cycling 
competition is among the most strenuous acts of endurance. A three 
thousand mile course, which stretches from coast to coast, is travelled 
twenty four hours a day and takes about a week to complete, pushing 
even the most elite athletes to their limits. For Team 4Mil this act of 
endurance is a commemoration to those who have so bravely served our 
country.
  By participating in this highly regarded competition, Team 4Mil hopes 
to raise funds and spread awareness of the Wounded Warrior Project, 
which aims to ensure that injured veterans returning from service are 
successfully and fully adjusted back to civilian life. The Wounded 
Warrior Project enables fellow veterans such as Team 4Mil to support 
and aid those who have sustained serious injury while serving their 
country.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me today in honoring Team 
4Mil as they continue their journey of extraordinary determination and 
manifest their duty to those who have bravely served our country.
