   TRIBUTE TO THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT DUBLIN CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

 Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, I am honored to recognize the 
students and teachers at Dublin Consolidated School as November's 
Granite Staters of the Month for their efforts to honor local veterans, 
including by inviting them to a special assembly and by raising money 
for the Wounded Warrior Project.
  At the beginning of this school year, the students at Dublin 
Consolidated School--which serves children in kindergarten through 
fifth grade--invited local veterans to a special Veterans Day assembly. 
While the students and teachers were not sure how many veterans would 
participate, on Veterans Day, the students honored almost 20 veterans 
with songs and readings, and after the assembly, the students thanked 
the veterans for their service. This special assembly was the first 
Veterans Day event that the school has hosted, but they have resolved 
that it won't be the last.
  The teachers at Dublin Consolidated School helped organize the event 
as a way for students to learn about military service and the 
contributions of veterans to our country's history. They also helped 
students learn about the Wounded Warrior Project and the support that 
it provides for wounded, ill, and injured veterans, servicemembers and 
families and brainstormed ways to raise money for the organization. 
Through a coin drive held in the weeks leading up to the assembly, the 
students raised more than $900, an amount matched by USAA bank, to help 
those who kept our country safe, secure, and free.
  The special Veterans Day celebration hosted by the students and 
teachers at Dublin Consolidated School is an example of the Granite 
State spirit of showing gratitude and respect for our veterans. Their 
work to honor local veterans is why I am proud to name them November's 
Granite Staters of the Month.
