HIRE A VETERAN WEEK

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SHAYS. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H. Con. Res. 5.

Providing our veterans with the resources necessary to make their transition to civilian life as effortless and successful as possible is a goal all members of Congress share. This resolution reiterates the need for employers to hire veterans.

We must make a commitment as a Nation to ensure the men and women who put on a uniform to protect and defend our Nation have the ability to find employment within the government or private sector upon their return.

While the previous Congress enacted several pieces of legislation to improve Veterans' benefits, there is still more to be done. This resolution takes another step toward focusing our country on the need to increase veteran's employment.

I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
