                     HONORING OUR NATION'S VETERANS

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, in advance of Veterans Day, I rise to 
honor all of those who have served in the defense of our great Nation.
  The 24th District of Texas is home to over 38,000 veterans. They come 
from many walks of life, but they all have one thing in common, they 
answered the call to serve when our Nation was in need.
  As part of my office's commitment to serving north Texas veterans and 
their families, we will host our Fourth Annual Veterans Fair this 
Saturday in Grapevine, Texas.
  This event is dedicated to informing veterans about the programs and 
services that are available to assist them and their families. It is 
also an opportunity for our community to come together and honor our 
Nation's heroes.
  Thank you to all of our veterans and active military who have put the 
safety of this Nation before their own. We are forever grateful for 
your service and sacrifice.
