                     CONGRATULATING MR. DENNIS TICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2010

  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Dennis 
Tice for his recognition as Bedford County's Historian of the Year for 
2010. Mr. Tice will receive his award at the Bedford County Historical 
Society Annual Banquet on April 24, 2010.
  Mr. Tice earned this award for his commitment to chronicle Bedford 
County's World War II veterans. Recognizing the importance of the 
Greatest Generation's legacy, Mr. Tice began working on a project that 
would bring its story to life. The result of his efforts was a feature-
length film entitled ``Bedford County Veterans WWII,'' which premiered 
at the Pitt Theatre in Bedford in December of 2009, with 2,100 tickets 
sold to the public and many subsequent DVD sales. Such a reception by 
the people of Bedford County is a testament to the accuracy, 
accessibility, and authenticity of Mr. Tice's work.
  Our World War II veterans have many inspiring stories to tell, and 
Dennis Tice's dedication to ensuring these stories are told is truly 
admirable. I commend Mr. Tice for his contribution to the understanding 
of our past, which shall guide and encourage us in our future. May his 
work continue to enrich Bedford County now and for years into the 
future.
