                       RECOGNIZING MILLER'S VETS

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Miller's Vets, 
an organization in my district committed to supporting homeless 
veterans, and express my appreciation for the service and sacrifice our 
veterans have made on behalf of our country.
  Miller's Vets was founded by Robert Miller, Sr., a former St. Joseph 
County Superior Court judge and a retired lieutenant commander in the 
U.S. Naval Reserve, who began the organization to instill confidence 
and create opportunities for local veterans.
  Veterans in the program participate in various services, including 
color guard, flag raising, and parade marches. Miller's Vets also 
created a military honors funeral program comprised of 14 local 
veterans who have been trained to perform honor guard duty at funerals. 
This program partners with local funeral homes to provide full military 
service funerals to certain veterans without family or adequate 
finances to pay for their expenses.
  Simply put, Mr. Speaker, Miller's Vets restores the honor that these 
men and women deserve. I am grateful to Miller's Vets for their 
dedication to providing dignity and hope to our bravest and finest.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Miller's Vets for their 
tireless dedication to helping and honoring our local veterans.
