                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 31, 2019

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
brave Americans who served our country during the Vietnam Era. The 
courage, patriotism, and heroism that our servicemembers displayed when 
faced with the danger of serving in the Vietnam War speaks to the 
character and strength of these individuals and our nation.
  I am honored to be a part of the Vietnam War Commemorative Committee. 
The brave men and women who served our nation during the Vietnam War 
set aside their ambitions, left their families, and risked their lives 
for our country. This project is a token of our gratitude for their 
selfless service and steadfast, unwavering devotion to our nation and 
the American people. The legacy of all those who served during the 
conflict remains an inspiration to our nation. To the families of our 
servicemembers who stood by faithfully as your loved ones departed to 
defend our freedoms overseas, I offer my sincere gratitude for your 
shared commitment to duty and service.
  I will continue to work each day to serve all those who have served 
us so valiantly. Our veterans have made incredible sacrifices in honor 
of our nation. It is a debt we can never repay, and one we can never 
forget. It is essential that we provide all our veterans with the care 
and support they so richly deserve.
  As the Representative for New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I will continue to work on behalf of our courageous Vietnam 
veterans, servicemembers, and military families who have given so much 
for our country. May we honor and celebrate all our soldiers, and may 
God bless the United States of America.
