            RECOGNIZING THE NEVADA MILITARY SUPPORT ALLIANCE

 Mr. HELLER. Madam President, today I wish to recognize an 
organization from my home State of Nevada whose continuous support of 
military servicemen and women and their families is truly inspiring. 
Their unwavering commitment to military families across the Silver 
State is unmatched and demonstrates their passion for those in need.
  Members of our military serve the United States to preserve and 
protect our freedom, and for that I am forever grateful. They dedicate 
their lives to serving this great nation and constantly make sacrifices 
to ensure the safety of our country. Generations of Americans enjoy 
greater peace and security because of the tireless efforts of these 
brave men and women.
  The Nevada Military Support Alliance provides comfort and care, both 
personal and financial, to the families and survivors of Nevada's 
fallen and returning patriots. When a soldier does come home from a war 
zone, returning to civilian life is not an easy task. Both the soldier 
and their families experience an incredible amount of stress during 
this transition. This is where the Nevada Military Support Alliance 
steps in. They offer unprecedented levels of assistance for Nevada 
military members and their families for the rarities of challenges they 
face on a day-to-day basis.
  We can never do enough for our nation's veterans, but with the help 
of the Nevada Military Support Alliance, we can ensure that more 
assistance is provided. Their continued dedication to our active 
military, veterans, and their families is unparalleled and stands as an 
example for us all.
  As the Nevada Military Support Alliance celebrates their Second 
Annual Gala this weekend, I want to thank them for everything they have 
given to Nevada's men and women in uniform and for ensuring that 
support is provided for these heroes. We owe our veterans and their 
families a great deal of gratitude for their personal sacrifices. On 
behalf of everyone who enjoys the freedoms that are unique to our great 
nation, thank you.
