                     RECOGNIZING EAGLE ROCK GALLERY

 Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, as a member and former chairman of 
the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, each month 
I recognize and celebrate the American entrepreneurial spirit by 
highlighting the success of a small business in my home State of Idaho. 
However, in honor of Veterans Day on November 11, this month I will 
honor a veteran-owned small business for each of the 10 days the Senate 
is in legislative session. The personal sacrifices made by America's 
veterans have protected the very freedoms and values that give each of 
us and our children the ability to achieve the American dream. The 
skills veterans learn as members of the military are invaluable and 
undoubtedly contribute to Idaho's flourishing veteran business 
community. I am proud of the sacrifices veterans have made to protect 
our country and that they are choosing Idaho to call home when they 
complete their service in the military.
  As your U.S. Senator from the great State of Idaho, it is my pleasure 
to recognize Eagle Rock Gallery in Idaho Falls as the Veteran-owned 
Idaho Small Business of the Day for November 7, 2019.
  Eagle Rock Gallery opened 6 months ago in Idaho Falls. It is owned 
and operated by U.S. Army veterans Gary Jensen and his wife, Kathi 
Cheyenne Jensen. The Jensens opened the gallery to host a collection of 
nationally and internationally recognized fine artists. The gallery 
includes a portrait studio, where clients can schedule portrait 
sessions for their families, friends, and even pets. In addition, the 
gallery features a variety of art available for purchase.
  Kathi Cheyenne Jensen is an award-winning photographer known for her 
patriotic images, specifically those that feature bald eagles. The

seek to honor veterans who, like themselves, have sacrificed for 
American freedom. Recently, the gallery held a fundraiser with proceeds 
going to support local veterans in Idaho Falls.
  Congratulations to Gary and Kathi Cheyenne Jensen and all of the 
artists at Eagle Rock Gallery for being selected as the Veteran-owned 
Idaho Small Business of the Day for November 7, 2019. You make our 
great State proud, and I look forward to your continued growth and 
success.
