             HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MIKE ANDERSEN

  (Mrs. Kim of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and 
legacy of Mike Andersen, a U.S. Army veteran and owner of Veteran Air.
  Mike led a life of service and made a lasting impact in his 40 years 
of life. He joined the Army in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, serving 4 
years and deploying to Iraq. When he returned, he started Veteran Air, 
an HVAC company that has become a pillar of California's 40th District 
and throughout Orange County.
  From holiday donations to restoring the Prado Dam Mural, Veteran Air 
is everywhere and always giving back to our community and to our area.
  His efforts expanded even further when Veteran Air launched Operation 
Water Drop. Mike packed up supplies and drove to Texas to provide 
support during the historic 2021 freeze. My heart is with Mike's 
family, his wife, Jessica; their six children; and the Veteran Air 
family as we mourn Mike's passing and honor his legacy.
  His impact will not be forgotten.
