  (Mr. MITCHELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  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 event 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 served our Nation are the best 1 percent this 
country produces.
  Words will never be adequate to capture the debt of gratitude owed to

men and women of our military who have enabled our Nation to continue 
to be safe and prosperous. I am honored to serve with them and the 
students in my district who took the time to recognize and organize the 
veterans at this event.
