             NATIONAL VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES MONTH

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of National Veterans and 
Military Families Month.
  Last week, I joined communities across Wake County to celebrate 
Veterans Day, a time when we honor the courageous men and women of our 
Armed Forces who put their lives on the line to defend our democracy.
  As the proud daughter of an Air Force veteran, I know that behind 
every servicemember is a family making sacrifices every day. But 
thanking our veterans and their families is simply not enough. We must 
recommit ourselves to providing them with the care and benefits they 
have earned.

  We, in North Carolina, support our veterans. Just last week, Raleigh, 
in my district, was named the best place in the country for veterans to 
live.
  Mr. Speaker, let's strive to make every community an incredible place 
for our veterans to call home.
