  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Pueblo 
Veterans Ritual Team of Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team, 
founded in 1984, is a Veteran Service Organization dedicated to 
providing military honors to veterans.
   As one of the oldest Veterans Ritual Teams in the country, the 
Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team assists over two hundred of our nation's 
service families every year. The group is comprised of former service 
men and women who continue to serve the community by providing military 
funeral services for many of the area's fallen heroes. Pueblo Veterans 
Ritual Team supports disabled veterans, widows, and orphans of deceased 
veterans by comforting the families after the loss, entertaining 
service members while in the hospital, and providing any other 
assistance needed. Through their continual service in the community 
they have an immense impact as public ambassadors for veterans and the 
Armed Forces.
   The community of Pueblo, as the Home of Heroes, is in debt to the 
Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team for their service in supporting the veteran 
community. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Pueblo Veterans 
Ritual Team for their devotion to honoring America's heroes as well as 
their service to our nation.
