                              VETERANS DAY

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, this year on Veterans Day, I will join 
all Americans in honoring those who have served in our Armed Forces. As 
a nation, we owe those who have served a debt of gratitude for the 
sacrifices they have made to protect our country, our way of life, and 
the principles of liberty and natural rights. Too often, we forget to 
thank the families who are left behind while they are in service. They 
deserve our consideration as well.
  The least we can do in return is work to ensure that all veterans 
have the healthcare and benefits they have earned. We owe it to 
veterans to ensure that they are never forsaken, nor forgotten.
  I yield the floor.
