It is important to note that the U.S. wheat (lúa mì) market remains fully open to importers and users everywhere. Dependable U.S. wheat producers and our reliable export system stand in the gap.

"We owe (mang nợ) the men and women who have served our country a debt of gratitude (biết ơn), and that includes a burial with dignity," said Secretary Strickland. "These veterans do not have any relatives; however, we as a community will stand in the gap to honor them at their final resting place."

Testing and vaccination are widely available at doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and clinics (phòng khám) for people with insurance and the health department is here to stand in the gap for people without that resource.

“[At] the Houston Health Department, we focus on our role (vai trò), and our role traditionally as an agency is to stand in the gap for people who don’t have insurance,” said Scott Packard with the Houston Health Department.
