                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO SANDY BUCHANAN

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Sandy 
Buchanan of Cold Spring, KY, for her 41 years of service and devotion 
to the Disabled American Veterans. Her steadfast support reinforces her 
organization's honorable goal of building better lives for America's 
disabled veterans and their families.
  The Disabled American Veterans is a service organization for the 
brave men and women who have become sick and disabled as a result of 
wartime military service. Founded in 1920, this organization serves 
veterans who have fought in combat since World War I.
  Ms. Buchanan began work as a keypunch operator for the Disabled 
American Veterans on October 12, 1964. In her four decades of service, 
she has helped the organization grow from supporting 178,864 members to 
representing 1.3 million members. Over the years, she has risen to the 
position of executive assistant at the National Headquarters in Cold 
Spring, KY. During her tenure, Ms. Buchanan has served combat veterans 
of every war and conflict since World War I.
  I now ask my fellow colleagues to join me in thanking Ms. Buchanan 
for her dedication and commitment to the Disabled American Veterans. 
Her devotion to our Nation's combat heroes serves as an example to all 
citizens of the Commonwealth.
