Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 10159, a bipartisan bill to transfer land from Fort Bragg to the State of North Carolina so that a new State veterans home can be built. I urge the House to pass this bill. As Fort Bragg's Congressman, there is no issue more important to me than taking care of our Active-Duty servicemembers, their families, and our veterans. North Carolina is home to many important military installations, including what we like to call the center of the universe at Fort Bragg. North Carolina is also home to the fastest growing veteran population in the Nation.
