                         Thursday, May 6, 2010

  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize American Legion 
Milton L. Bishop Post No. 301 of Connellsville for signing the Armed 
Forces Community Covenant.
  In his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln urged the country to 
``care for him who shall have borne the battle.'' By signing the Armed 
Forces Community Covenant, the members of Post No. 301 have assumed 
this high moral obligation. They are committed to improving the quality 
of life of service members and their families. With this solemn pledge, 
the members of Post No. 301 recognize the importance of caring for 
those who put their lives on the line for our country's safety and 
freedom. It is a great act of patriotism and human decency.
  The Connellsville Legion's commitment to service members and their 
families is truly admirable. I commend Post No. 301 for volunteering 
its time and efforts to this worthy cause, and I thank the Post for its 
devoted citizenship.
