               HONORING AMERICANS WHO SACRIFICED SO MUCH

  (Mr. GOOD of Virginia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GOOD of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the 16 
million brave men and women alive today who valiantly served this 
Nation in the United States military.
  Every year, on November 11, we unite as a nation to celebrate and 
honor all veterans who selflessly put their lives on the line, fighting 
for the freedoms that make this the greatest country on Earth.

[[Page H5481]]

  Veterans have made considerable sacrifices serving this Nation. We 
must honor them and ensure they receive the benefits promised for their 
noble service. That is why I am introducing the Veterans Education is 
Timeless Act of 2023, removing arbitrary expiration dates for education 
benefits for veterans and their families.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill and uphold the 
commitments we have made to the men and women who serve and fought on 
our behalf.
  As we approach Veterans Day, I express my profound gratitude to all 
veterans and especially recognize the 45,000 who live in Virginia's 
Fifth District. It is an honor to recognize and represent these 
Americans who sacrificed so much to defend the freedoms we enjoy.
