                            VSOS ARE HEROES

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, there is no greater way to 
learn how to help those who have fought for our country than to talk to 
a veteran and those who fight for them every day.
  I was glad to discuss the most pressing challenges facing our 
veterans and their families in eastern North Carolina at a Veteran 
Service Officers roundtable. Participants shared the barriers for 
veterans who live in rural communities and their legislative 
priorities.
  Consequently, I signed onto H.R. 196, the Expediting Temporary 
Ratings for Veterans Act, and H.R. 522, the Deliver for Veterans Act.
  Our VSOs are vital in assisting veterans with claims, identifying 
State benefits, and facilitating their transition from Active Duty. 
VSOs are heroes.
