                              VETERANS DAY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, last week, on November 
11, we celebrated Veterans Day. I rise today to thank our great men and 
women who answered the call to serve our country.
  Our Nation recognizes the generations of brave men and women who have 
defended our freedoms and protected our great country from threats 
across the globe.
  We owe the valiant men and women of the Army, Navy, Air Force, 
Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves our unwavering 
support and gratitude.
  In Congress, we must work to ensure veterans receive the care and 
support they so deserve, even after they transition from uniform to 
civilian lives. I am proud to support legislation in Congress focused 
on mental health and telehealth, spouses and families, and 
accountability from the VA.
  Madam Speaker, our veterans and their families have given so much for 
this country and ask so little in return. I offer my sincere gratitude 
one last time to the men and women who have selflessly served our 
country in the United States military.
  God bless our military and God bless the United States of America.
