Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Military Appreciation Month. Throughout the month of May, Americans nationwide acknowledge and honor the dedication of the brave men and women who have served this Nation.

Idaho is home to over 115,000 veterans and 8,700 service members. I am deeply grateful for the heroes who protect our freedom and am proud to support our military families and veterans in our great state.

Military Appreciation Month can be honored in various ways, such as through parades, tributes, flying the American flag, or simply expressing gratitude to veterans for their sacrifices. Regardless of how Americans choose to observe this important month, we stand united in our deep appreciation for our servicemembers, veterans, and their families for their sacrifices.

Chobani, an American food company that has its main manufacturing facility in Twin Falls, Idaho, is honoring our military servicemembers through facilitating connections between Blue Star Families, Mountain Home Airforce Base, and Chobani military employees.

The collaborative efforts among these groups have strengthened military families, created new relationships, and better supported those who serve us.

Throughout the years, Chobani has done incredible work to support families in the Magic Valley and throughout our country. This month, Chobani has taken the initiative to empower military families in Idaho and nationwide, an effort that shows pride and support for our Nation.

America would not be what it is today without those who risked their lives for the greater good. Our service members and their families have sacrificed so much for our Nation.

Mr. Speaker, as we take time this month to recognize those who have served and continue to serve this great country, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Chobani's military appreciation efforts. God bless our Armed Forces.
