HONORING SHERRY STINEBISER
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson) for 5 minutes.
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize
Sherry Stinebiser for decades of service to the communities of
northwestern Pennsylvania.
On June 25, 2011, Sherry was elected to a 1-year term as president of
the ladies auxiliary to the Department of Pennsylvania Veterans of
Foreign Wars, the VFW. Like every task Sherry has taken on in her long
career of service, her primary goal as president has been serving
others.
Joining the Ladies Auxiliary in 1996, Sherry is a life member of Cleo
Bargerstock Auxiliary 1424 in Marienville, Pennsylvania, which is
located within the Pennsylvania Fifth Congressional District.
Outside of the auxiliary, Sherry has worked for more than 30 years as
a licensed practical nurse. She has volunteered her spare time as an
emergency medical technician and serves as a board member of a group
called Experience Incorporated, a local organization in Warren and
Forest Counties dedicated to providing services to elderly citizens.
Albert Einstein once said: Only a life lived for others is worth
living.
A model citizen who has committed her life to serving others, I
believe Sherry would agree.
Thank you for your service, Sherry.
