                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 29, 2009

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate John 
``Hut'' Hutson, William C. Jenkins, David F. Lucier, Peter Martinez, 
Pat Chorpenning and Carl G. Schneider, the Class of 2009 inductees to 
the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. These citizens are recognized for 
their exemplary service for our country.
   For both bravely serving our country and inspiring those outside 
their military service, 19 Arizona residents were selected to be part 
of the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. In a state boasting more than 
600,000 veterans, I am truly honored to represent five of this year's 
recipients.
   The Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society annually rewards and 
honors veterans for their continued service to the community. Each 
recipient of the prestigious award is personally selected by the Office 
of Governor Jan Brewer in partnership with the Arizona Department of 
Veterans' Services.
   These veterans represent the courage and patriotism that is so 
revered by many Americans. It is people like this that I am 
continuously thinking of and am proud to serve. As members of the Hall 
of Fame Society, I am sure these veterans will carry on inspiring and 
serving our community.
   Madam Speaker, please join me in recognition of John ``Hut'' Hutson, 
William C. Jenkins, David F. Lucier, Peter Martinez, Pat Chorpenning 
and Carl G. Schneider's exceptional service.
