  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Pueblo

Team assists over two hundred of our nation's service families every 
year. The group is comprised of former service men and women who 
continue to serve the community by providing military funeral services 
for many of the area's fallen heroes. Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team 
supports disabled veterans, widows, and orphans of deceased veterans by 
comforting the families after the loss, entertaining service members 
while in the hospital, and providing any other assistance needed. 
Through their continual service in the community they have an immense 
impact as public ambassadors for veterans and the Armed Forces.
   The community of Pueblo, as the Home of Heroes, is in debt to the 
Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team for their service in supporting the veteran 
community. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Pueblo Veterans 
Ritual Team for their devotion to honoring America's heroes as well as 
their service to our nation.
