integral part of our community and an outstanding businessman.

industry, and for the last 13 years, Mr. McKenty has owned and operated 
his own battery business in Trevose, Pennsylvania. He has been involved 
in the shaping of our business community and has helped raise thousands 
of dollars for local charities. He has been involved in Special People 
in Northeast, and the Special Olympics. In addition, he has also been a 
Little League and softball coach. William McKenty is an inspiration to 
our community.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize and honor William A. McKenty 
not only for being an upstanding businessman, but also for his 
commitment to charity work and giving back to the community. I am 
honored to serve as his Congressman.
