                       Friday, February 11, 2022

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor National 
President Jean Hamil and all members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 
Auxiliary for their outstanding volunteer service to Veterans and their 
families.
  In their 108th year of volunteer service the organization continues 
to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of 
freedom by maintaining memorials to their service and sharing their 
history with our nation's youth to ensure our nation's Veterans will 
never be forgotten. The 470,000 members of the VFW Auxiliary all 
represent the families of those who have served or are currently 
serving on foreign soil protecting our freedom. Member volunteers have 
conducted nearly one million hours in Veterans Affairs Medical Centers 
and other hospitals throughout the country. I thank them for their 
tireless service to our country and to Veterans and their families.
