“I want to congratulate Donna Mills from my district. She was elected national president of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Donna Mills of Hesston on her election as the national president of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary. A life member of the Standing Stone VFW Post 1754 in Huntingdon, Donna has served the VFW Auxiliary in numerous roles, including auxiliary, district, and department president. Donna joined the organization at the age of 16 on the eligibility of her grandfather, who had served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Her commitment to the VFW Auxiliary is exemplary.

“I am sad a man died. His name was Pat Jones. He was a judge for 39 years. Then he was a supervisor. He was a Marine once. He was proud to work for the government. I want to honor him now. His family should know I am sad for them.”

“I want us to honor Pat Jones, who recently died. He was a Marine veteran, served as a local judge for 39 years, and was a town supervisor. Please join me in remembering his service and keeping his family in your prayers.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is with sorrow that I rise to honor the life and public service of Pat Jones, who recently passed away at his farm in Logan Township. Pat served as a magisterial district judge for 39 years in Blair County. Most recently, he was elected to his first term as the Logan Township supervisor in 2019. A United States Marine Corps veteran, Pat has been described as a proud public servant who worked hard to ensure that the justice system continued meeting aspirational goals. Mr. Speaker, as we pause to remember Pat's legacy of leadership and service, we also remember his family and keep them in our prayers. Join me in honoring the memory of Judge Pat Jones.”

“I want to praise Elizabeth Schlusser. She voted in 50 elections in a row. That is a lot. We have a Hall of Fame for that. It was started a long time ago. Many people are in it. Our country is 250 years old. We are proud of our democracy and voting rights. I want to thank Elizabeth for voting a lot. She is a good example for other people in my district.”

“I want to congratulate Elizabeth Schlusser. She joined the Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame for voting in 50 straight November elections.”

“Mr. Speaker, with respect and admiration, I rise to recognize Elizabeth Schlusser of Newville for her induction into the Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame. Induction into the Hall of Fame acknowledges and honors individuals who have voted in at least 50 consecutive November elections. The Voter Hall of Fame was established in 1986 and includes more than 25,000 voters statewide who were inducted over the last four decades. As America continues to celebrate our semiquincentennial of our founding as a free and independent Republic, we take collective pride in our Nation's role as a global defender of democratic ideals, including the rights of citizens to vote in free and fair elections. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the constituents throughout the 13th Congressional District, I congratulate Elizabeth on this remarkable patriotic distinction and thank her for a level of civic engagement that is a true inspiration to all Pennsylvanians.”
