                       Tuesday, November 2, 2021

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
contributions of American Veterans (AMVETS) Post 910, named for Colin 
Powell, in the City of Detroit in Michigan's 13th Congressional 
District.
  The members of the Colin Powell Post came together with a purpose, to 
help the veterans and their families in creating a better quality of 
life and to make a positive change in the community. Post 910 has 
focused its mission on assisting homeless veterans across Detroit and 
Wayne County. They have hosted countless events in support of those who 
have served our country in the military. They have regularly offered a 
listening ear and fellowship to veteran patients at John Dingell 
Veterans Administration Hospital in Detroit.
  In addition to its charitable work, Post 910 has worked to strengthen 
its ties to local high school Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) 
programs. They have recognized ROTC students' achievements at schools 
across Detroit. Still, the Post 910 members devote countless hours to 
community events, participating in local parades and events honoring 
the service of our veterans. They dedicate their time all year round to 
giving back to the community by hosting holiday toy drives for local 
children, Thanksgiving meals for those in need, and so much more.
  Please join me in recognizing Detroit's Colin Powell AMVETS Post 910 
for their many outstanding contributions to the communities of Detroit 
and 13th District Strong.
