                        IN HONOR OF VETERANS DAY

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary 
service and selfless sacrifice of our Nation's veterans.
  Each year, on the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to pay tribute 
to our veterans, the men and women who served this country with honor 
and distinction.
  To the almost 22 million veterans in the United States and the 43,000 
veterans who live in my congressional district, I am here to say thank 
you for your service and sacrifice. You answered the call of service 
and never wavered.
  Whether at home or abroad, whether at war or at times of peace, you 
kept our Nation safe and protected our freedoms. In gratitude and 
humility, it is now our turn to serve you, providing the benefits and 
the resources you deserve and earned.
