  COLD ZERO PREMIUM SPIRITS AND CEDAR RIDGE WINERY & DISTILLERY HONOR 
                                VETERANS

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a 
remarkable collaboration between Cold Zero Premium Spirits and Cedar 
Ridge Winery & Distillery that embodies the spirit of giving back and 
honoring our veterans.
  Casey Maxted, a former Green Beret, brought together friends and 
colleagues from the military and cofounded Cold Zero in Swisher, Iowa.
  This year, members of Cold Zero Premium Spirits and Cedar Ridge 
Winery & Distillery spent the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror 
attacks bottling whiskey. Over 2,000 bottles of this special whiskey 
will be available, and each bottle is signed by one of six Medal of 
Honor recipients, including Cedar Rapids native Sal Giunta.
  As we approach Veterans Day, let us remember the profound impact we 
can have on the lives of our veterans by rallying around organizations 
and businesses who support them and are also veteran owned.
  Thank you, Cold Zero Premium Spirits and Cedar Ridge Winery & 
Distillery for your inspiring efforts to make a difference.
  I would also like to wish a very happy birthday to the most special 
man in my life, my husband, Curt Meeks. Happy birthday, honey.
