                        HONORING HAROLD McINTYRE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 24, 2010

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Harold 
McIntyre. Mr. McIntyre passed away on December 4, 2009 and will be 
honored at the 2010 Valley Area Agency on Aging Senior Power Day for 
his work with the veterans of Genesee County. Senior Power Day will be 
held tomorrow at Crossroads Village in my hometown of Flint, Michigan.
  Harold McIntyre worked as a Surgical Assistant at Flint General 
Hospital and in the Public Relations Department of The Flint Journal 
prior to his retirement. He served on the Westwood Heights District 
Board of Education and was the past commander of the Leo P. Crow VFW 
Post. A veteran of the Vietnam War he formed the McFarlan Park Veterans 
Committee to ensure the names of service personnel killed during their 
service were added to the monument. He was committed to renovating 
McFarlan Park as a veterans' memorial. Harold was instrumental in 
organizing the Downtown Small Business Association's Annual Memorial 
Day veterans march. In 2009 he planned the first Veterans March for the 
Valley Area Agency on Aging Senior Power Day. The theme was ``A Tribute 
to World War II Veterans.''
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
honoring the memory to Harold McIntyre. His work on behalf of veterans 
reminds us of the great debt we owe to those that sacrificed so much so 
we could have freedom and I commend Valley Area Agency on Aging for 
keeping his memory and work alive.
