                     Wednesday, September 17, 2008

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ralph 
``Tom'' Browning, Tris S. Castle, Robert F. Delker, and William H. 
Wallace, the Class of 2008 inductees to the Arizona Veterans Hall of 
Fame. As veterans, these citizens have bravely served our country and 
their selfless efforts deserve considerable recognition.
  The Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society is committed to promoting 
camaraderie among those who have served and continue to serve the state 
of Arizona and our country. Its message of perpetuating service and 
patriotism through recognition is inspirational to the entire 
community. These individuals have been selected for this prestigious 
honor by the Office of Governor Janet Napolitano as well as the Arizona 
Department of Veterans' Services.
  These Arizona residents were selected to be part of the Arizona 
Veterans Hall of Fame not just because they honorably served our 
country, but because they have continued their commitment to the idea 
of selfless service throughout their lives.
  I commend the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society for awarding such 
deserving citizens. These four people truly exemplify the courage and 
patriotism that we as Americans value so highly. As members of Hall of 
Fame Society, I am sure these veterans will continue to serve and 
inspire future generations.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Ralph Browning, Tris 
Castle, Robert Delker, and William Wallace's continued service to the 
community.
