                    IN RECOGNITION OF TIM CULBERTSON

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to take a moment today to recognize 
Tim Culbertson and all the members of the Cheviot-Western Hills Chapter 
of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Chapter 3620.
  The primary mission of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is to 
foster an environment of goodwill and camaraderie among wounded combat 
veterans, to promote patriotism, and to provide service to all veterans 
and their families.
  Tim Culbertson, a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient himself, 
has spent decades advocating on behalf of his fellow veterans, and his 
service with the Military Order of the Purple Heart makes him a great 
asset to our whole community.
  In 2000, Mr. Culbertson was instrumental in the establishment of 
Chapter 3620, and his dedication and patriotism were recognized earlier 
this year at the annual National Purple Heart Convention, where he was 
named the top Americanism Officer in the United States, an honor he 
truly deserves.
  The sense of spirit, patriotism and generosity exhibited by the 
members of Chapter 3620 reflect the dedication, enthusiasm and 
commitment of their Americanism Officer, Tim Culbertson. It gives me 
great pleasure to recognize Tim for his accomplishments, and I 
congratulate him on receiving this national award, and I thank him for 
his contributions to all the veterans of the First District of Ohio.
