                           HONORING VETERANS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, veterans have courageously 
served America to protect the freedoms we enjoy. They deserve the 
respect of American families and must never be forgotten.
  This week, House Republicans will vote on multiple bills to protect 
the constitutional rights of veterans and expand access to benefits 
they have earned through service.
  House Republicans believe that veterans deserve better--care they can 
access; veterans' benefits delivered on time; a Veterans Administration 
that works for veterans; real support for mental health, housing, 
education, and employment.
  Memorial Day on Monday is a solemn day of remembrance for the 
Americans who have given their lives in service for our country, 
liberating dozens of countries from socialism and communism.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war 
criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump as the Chinese 
Communist Party trains Putin troops to murder Ukrainian civilians where 
Ukrainian parents provide whistles at night to children to be heard as 
Putin attacks civilian apartment buildings.
