  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, as we come together to celebrate Veterans 
Day, it is my great honor to recognize the veterans, their families, 
and staff of the Michigan Veteran Homes D.J. Jacobetti.
  Michigan Veteran Homes have served our Nation's heroes for 135 years. 
Offering services and nursing to our veterans across the Upper 
Peninsula, Michigan Veteran Homes' D.J. Jacobetti location was first 
established in 1981. Named after D.J. Jacobetti, Michigan's longest-
serving state legislator in our state's history, this location combines 
state-of-the-art care and a compassionate staff to form a welcoming and 
proactive system of support for our local veterans. The staff and 
support system have rightfully earned high praise for their continued 
effort to care for our Nation's greatest asset.
  The veterans of Jacobetti deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. 
The occasion of Veterans Day gives us the perfect opportunity to come 
together in celebration and thanks for those who have sacrificed to 
ensure our safety and freedom is protected at all costs. Their health, 
safety, and well-being must continue to be among our highest 
priorities--no one is more worthy of recognition and support than those 
who have served in our Nation's military.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the veterans, their 
families, and staff of Michigan Veteran Homes D.J. Jacobetti for their 
service to our country and the sacrifices they have made. They have all 
played an important part in safeguarding our Nation's security and the 
safety of millions of American citizens. On behalf of Michigan's First 
District, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
