  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable veteran and lifelong resident of the Mississippi Delta, Mr. 
Isaac Daniel Scott.
  Mr. Scott was drafted to serve in the United States Army while 
pursuing an education in Agriculture Business at Tennessee State 
University: Mr. Scott served during the Vietnam Conflict and was a 
member of the 1st Calvary Air Mobile Unit. He earned the rank of 
Specialist and an Honorable Discharge after his tour of duty. Upon 
completion of his tour of duty, Mr. Scott returned to the Mississippi 
Delta to pursue farming with his father, Mr. Edward Scott.
  Mr. Scott wanted to continue his contact with fellow veterans and 
became a member of

the American Legion Post #220 in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. In 2009 he 
was elected to serve as Vice Commander of VFW Post #220.
  Mr. Scott is married to Ms. Lucy Chatman-Scott and they are the proud 
parents of seven children and three grandchildren. A proud veteran and 
family man, he lives his life by the motto: ``Do unto others as you 
would have them do unto you.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Isaac 
Scott for his dedication to serving our great country.
