             CONGRESSMAN JEFF MILLER HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE

  (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, I am grateful that in my 
service I began as a member of the unique class of 2001. These were 
Members elected in special elections that year, including now-U.S. 
Senator John Boozman of Arkansas, along with chairman of the House 
Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Jeff Miller of Florida, and chairman of 
the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection 
Forces, Randy Forbes of Virginia, both of whom are now concluding their 
House service.
  Since being elected to the House, Chairman Jeff Miller has 
demonstrated his remarkable leadership as a member of the House Armed 
Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence, and as chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' 
Affairs.
  Chairman Miller has been a dedicated advocate for troops, veterans, 
and military families. He has also worked tirelessly to hold the 
Department of Veterans Affairs accountable to ensure our servicemembers 
receive the best care. A Trump administration would have an excellent 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
  I appreciate Chairman Miller, his wife, Vicki, and his family for 
honorably serving the people of the First Congressional District of 
Florida. Roxanne and I will always treasure them as champions for 
American families.
  Godspeed, Jeff and Vicki.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
