                      RECOGNIZING NEW FREEDOM FARM

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize New Freedom Farm in 
Buchanan, Virginia.
  Founded in 2016 by Lois Fritz, New Freedom Farm is a nonprofit 
community that aids veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress 
disorder, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injury.
  Through animal therapy, farming, and peer-to-peer support, this 
tremendous organization strives to empower veterans and help them heal 
through the realization of their own efforts and contributions. The 
farm says its mission is to heal heroes through horses.
  At the facility, veterans often develop deep friendships through 
equine activity and gentling, fostering, physical, emotional, and 
spiritual health, which helps with reintegration into civilian life.
  They offer their services to veterans entirely free of charge and say 
they are able to operate through donations and faith.
  I applaud the entire team at New Freedom Farm for their passion and 
commitment to serving those who serve our Nation. I wish them continued 
success moving forward and thank them for their incredible work.
