          RECOGNIZING THE AURORA REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. FOSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Aurora 
Regional Chamber of Commerce in Aurora, Illinois.
  For their dedication to hiring veterans in our community, the group 
recently received the Three Star Chamber of Valor Award by the United 
States Chamber of Commerce. They were recognized for their 
participation in the Hiring Our Heroes program and for encouraging 
local businesses to provide access to good-paying jobs for the men and 
women who have served our country in uniform.
  Of course, they didn't do it on their own, so I would like to join 
the Chamber in recognizing a few local businesses who have taken the 
lead in hiring and supporting veterans: Old Second Bank, Alarm 
Detection Systems, and The Studio at 46 West, a veteran-owned business.
  I would also like to join the Chamber in recognizing the Roosevelt 
Aurora Post No. 84 of the American Legion for their work in serving the 
community.
  I would like to thank the members of the Aurora Regional Chamber of 
Commerce and all of the local businesses in our community who have made 
hiring veterans a priority.
