  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize Sarah 
Roberson and the staff at the Arkansas State Veterans Home in North 
Little Rock, Arkansas. Sarah and the staff have been restoring hope and 
happiness to our veterans through creativity and compassion.
  Sarah Roberson and the team have quickly developed new ways to bring 
joy to our veterans during the current public health crisis due to 
COVID-19 by dedicating their time to connecting veterans to their 
families via virtual chat, promoting outdoor activities including golf 
cart rides, gardening, and long walks.
  Sarah has also made sure our veterans have the ability to vote by 
assisting veterans with registering, transferring, and applying for 
absentee ballots.
  This initiative has shined a light on how creativity and compassion 
encourage positive attitudes and can unite a community even amidst a 
public health crisis.
  I congratulate Sarah Roberson and the team at the Arkansas State 
Veterans Home for their efforts in lifting the spirits of our veteran 
community.
