  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Garland ISD 
for its dedication to ensure our North Texas veterans are set up for 
success when they return home.
  Last month, after recognizing the statewide struggle to find 
employees, Garland ISD partnered with Soldiers to Sidelines--a 
nonprofit aimed at helping soldiers get the training, credentialing, 
and even the networking needed to build post military careers in 
coaching.
  I have met with several veterans' groups across North Texas, and they 
have all expressed the immense challenges they face transitioning into 
civilian life. By partnering with Soldiers to Sidelines, Garland ISD 
has affirmed its commitment to helping the heroes of North Texas 
overcome this obstacle.
  It is imperative we lift up and support the veterans who have risked 
it all for our country. I'd like to thank Garland ISD for going above 
and beyond to do exactly that.
