  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in 
honoring Mr. J.D. Lindsey of Tift County, GA. Mr. Lindsey is a U.S. 
Marine and a decorated World War II Veteran. He received the Purple 
Heart for wounds suffered while serving our Nation on active duty. 
Since his discharge from the Marine Corps, he has worked tirelessly for 
veterans' causes and issues. He was responsible for obtaining the DAV 
van that is used to transport veterans to their medical appointments at 
the VAMC facility in Dublin, GA each week. He uses his personal funds 
to see that the van continues to run each week without interruption. 
When necessary, he has also used his personal vehicle to ensure that 
every veteran in need makes it to his or her appointments. He has 
unselfishly given of his time and money to not only serve our Nation 
while on active duty, but has remained committed to caring for his 
fellow veterans and their families all over the Tift area. Any number 
of citizens of Tifton have benefited greatly from his kindness and 
benevolence.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me today in honoring Mr. J.D. 
Lindsey for his unwavering commitment and service to our country and 
our community.
