                RECOGNIZING MOUNTAIN VIEW DENTAL CLINIC

 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 Mountain View Dental Clinic in Soda Springs as the 
veteran-owned Idaho Small Business of the Day for November 18, 2019.
  Mountain View Dental Clinic is owned by U.S. Air Force veteran Dr. 
Jerry Walker, DMD. Walker was born and raised in Rexburg before moving 
to Pennsylvania to attend dental school. Luckily for Idaho, Walker 
returned home to the Gem State to open his practice and serve the Soda 
Springs community. With more than 18 years of clinical experience, 
Walker and his employees pride themselves on building trust with their 
clients.
  Walker and his staff provide routine dental care services such as 
cleanings and oral cancer screenings, in addition to cosmetic services 
tailored to fit the needs of each patient. The team at Mountain View 
Dental Clinic works hard to remain at the forefront of dental research 
and technology, ensuring that patients enjoy a comfortable experience 
at the dentist.
  Congratulations to Dr. Jerry Walker and all of the employees at 
Mountain View Dental Clinic for being selected as the Veteran-owned 
Idaho Small Business of the Day for November 18, 2019. You make our 
great State proud, and I look forward to your continued growth and 
success.
