          RECOGNIZING AMERICA'S VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, next week this Nation will celebrate Veterans 
Day, where we rightly pay tribute to the members of our military, past 
and present, and honor them with the respect and gratitude they 
deserve. Liberty is bought and paid for by the incomprehensible 
generosity of these patriots.
  We also honor the commitment and sacrifices of our military families 
by celebrating Military Family Month in November. Through deployments, 
separations, and moves across the country and overseas, these families 
inspire us as they endure the extended absence of their loved ones with 
grace, strength, and devotion.
  America is the land of the free because we are the home of the brave. 
I thank our veterans for seeing the value of freedom and rising to 
America's defense with unfailing strength. I thank our military 
families for standing with our servicemembers, supporting that great 
bravery, and sharing in the sacrifice.
