                       Friday, November 12, 2021

   Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, on this Veterans Day, it is my honor to 
recognize the D.J. Jacobetti Veterans Home for decades of service to 
veterans, their families, and our communities. Through their tireless 
work and steadfast devotion to veterans, D.J. Jacobetti has become an 
indispensable part of the Upper Peninsula and the State of Michigan.
   D.J. Jacobetti was created in Marquette, Michigan, in 1981 following 
the increase in Michigan's veteran population after the Vietnam War. 
The establishment of the facility featured a spacious four-story 
building that was renovated from the former St. Mary's Hospital and was 
appropriately dedicated to the Yooper and longest serving member of the 
Michigan House of Representatives, Dominic J. Jacobetti. Throughout the 
past 40 years, D.J. Jacobetti and their staff have worked diligently to 
improve the lives of countless veterans, offering a variety of care 
options which include an on-site pharmacy, rehab and therapy, dementia 
care, and many others. The impact of their work has bettered the 
quality of life for many Yoopers, and their devotion to our veterans 
and local community cannot be overstated.
   Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize D.J. Jacobetti Michigan 
Veterans Home for their continued service to veterans and our Upper 
Peninsula communities. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the 
First District is home to such dedicated citizens. On behalf of my 
constituents, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
