We salute those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and remember those who have served our country around the world in the name of freedom and democracy. We must not limit our gratitude for our veterans to just one calendar day a year. We have an obligation to care for service members when theyre abroad and when they come home. Our veterans face rising conflicts across the globe and mounting issues when they return home. Time and time again, our veterans struggle to navigate the transition into civilian life. As a former Chief Psychiatric Nurse for the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the daughter of a veteran, I have seen firsthand the troubles facing some veterans today. All veterans deserve fair employment, access to quality healthcare and affordable housing. After fighting for our nation overseas, no veteran should have to fight for a job at home. The President, I and my colleagues in Congress have taken steps to help our men and women in uniform find good-paying jobs ranging from providing tax credits for businesses that hire veterans to creating a Veterans Job Corps that helps veterans find pathways to work. ### U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson is the ranking member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and the highest-ranking Texan on the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure.
