  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Veterans in my 
district, and those who support them. Earlier this month, I attended a 
Veterans Esteem Team meeting in Lapeer County.
  It is a dinner organized and prepared by local Junior High and High 
School students from North Branch, Almont, and Dryden to honor area 
veterans. Those who have served our nation are the best one percent 
this country produces. Words will never be adequate to capture the debt 
of gratitude owed to the men and women of our military who have enabled 
our nation to continue to be safe and prosperous. I'm honored to serve 
them, and the students in my district who took the time to recognize 
and organize this event for our veterans.
  Therefore, I would like to include in the Record the names of 
students and sponsors of the Veterans Esteem Team:
  Veterans Esteem Team Board Members--President: Benjamin Koning, Vice-
President: Brian Garner, Secretary: Robert Heugh, Treasurer: Wayne 
Jacobs, Director: Glenn Ream.
  Veterans Esteem Team North Branch chapter: Mr. Robert Heugh--Advisor, 
Darius Boulton, Liberty Cooper, Ms. Dusty Olivia Heugh, Gabe Hutchins, 
Ayden Marshall, Elizabeth Oland, Logan Sawson, Peyton Shepherd, Valerie
