To honor our national promise to our veterans, we must continue to improve services for our men and women in uniform today and provide long overdue benefits for the veterans and military retirees who have already served.
In addition to serving overseas, the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans.
The Peace Corps is an outstanding organization that promotes peace through helping countless individuals who want to help build a better life for the community in which they serve.
Education is the silver bullet to improve this Nation's standing worldwide... and our teachers know that.
Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.
Education should be one of our top funding priorities talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.
Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1, 2006.
