Thanking Our Veterans

Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I stand to honor those who have died and have given their lives so that we might have a better life. But it's not enough to simply thank them with words. This is why the 111th Congress has passed Homes for Heroes, to help with the homelessness among our veterans. This is why we provided college benefits for the children of our veterans. This is why we produced a $2,400 tax credit for employers who hire our veterans. This is why we provided a $250 economic recovery benefit to our veterans. This is why we produced $23 billion in health care and other services for our veterans.

They have been there for us. I thank God for them. It's time for us to continue to be there for them.
