                         Monday, July 26, 2021

  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the fifth 
anniversary of the Mt. Carmel Center of Excellence in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado. A dream of Colorado businessman Jay Cimino, Mt. Carmel opened 
its doors in 2016 to support our veteran-rich community in impactful 
and meaningful ways.
  Their state-of-the-art facility and staff have become a cornerstone 
in the Pikes Peak region, providing functional, comprehensive care to 
veterans in need. In addition, Mt. Carmel Center offers transition and 
employment assistance for those separating from the military, 
individualized and group counseling and support, family wellness 
classes, training, networking, and various other services, at little or 
no cost to our veterans through public-private community partnerships.
  I congratulate and thank Mr. Cimino, Army (COL) Retired Bob 
McLaughlin, and all of those who make Mt. Carmel a reality for veterans 
in Colorado's Fifth Congressional District. Their steadfast commitment 
to giving back to the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much 
for our freedoms is unparalleled and unmatched.
  May God Bless the work done at Mt. Carmel, may God Bless our 
veterans, and may God Bless America.
