  Mr. HERN. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor a woman who has 
served Tulsa veterans with care and compassion for years. Rachel 
Runfola is a champion for Oklahoma veterans. She works tirelessly to 
help the men and women who have faithfully served our country. She is 
an invaluable asset, not only to our veterans, but to all of Oklahoma.
  Thanks to Rachel's leadership with Tulsa's Support Services for 
Veteran Families, our veterans have access to safe housing, and the 
support they need to maintain it.
  SSVF works to help local veterans who are homeless, experiencing a 
housing crisis, or facing eviction within 21 days. SSVF covers 42 
counties and is planning to help over 800 families every year.
  Our veterans deserve the very best we have to offer, and I know 
Rachel gives them exactly that.
  I thank Rachel and the entire SSVF team for what they do every day to 
give our community's veterans a better life. It does not go unnoticed.
