                         HONORING OUR VETERANS

                                 ______

  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise this Veterans' Day week to express 
my gratitude to those who served our country and those who continue to 
serve.
  Throughout our history, we have asked our brave men and women in 
uniform to do extraordinary things all over the world.
   In return, we made a promise to provide them the best benefits, 
education, and health care possible.
  One of the most important parts of my job is to make sure that 
veterans in my district get the benefits they've earned.
  I've heard about the months-long delays veterans face in obtaining GI 
Bill benefits, and I am committed to working with my colleagues to fix 
the situation.
   That's because our nation's leaders must honor our veterans, rain or 
shine.
   I am happy that we will be joined in the next Congress by a new 
generation of veterans, including a record number of women veterans.
  I look forward to working with them to fulfill the promise of 
Veterans' Day this week and all year long.
