                        GIVING BACK TO VETERANS

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I come from a family of veterans. My 
father, my brother, and nephew all served, and I am honored to fight 
for our veterans and their families here in Washington.
  Our servicemen and -women have sacrificed so much for this country. 
And our community and our country are forever grateful to all who have 
served, and we must always give back to those who have given us so 
much.
  I am proud of the funding that we have helped procure for the Veteran 
Rapid Retraining Assistance Program. It gives veterans in my community 
and the country the opportunity to receive a year of job training, 
education, and housing costs.
  This pandemic has been extraordinarily difficult for so many across 
our country, and this is an important step toward serving the thousands 
who have so bravely served our Nation.
