                         Thursday, May 31, 2012

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
volunteers for Prince William Forest Park.
  The volunteers at Prince William Forest Park give their time and 
talents to assist in many facets of park operations. Volunteers come 
from all over the country and from the local community to help with 
visitor services, camp hosting, park maintenance, trail work and much 
more. They greet visitors with a smile, whether they are there for a 
day hike or a week's stay in one of the cabin camps. They are the eyes 
and ears of the park, making sure that visitors have a safe and 
enjoyable stay. And most of all, they exemplify the mission of the 
National Park Service and play an integral role to spreading that 
mission, creating stewards for the future.
  It is my honor to enter into the Congressional Record the names of 
volunteers for the Prince William Forest Park:
  Mac Kelly
  Mary Ann Kelly
  Mac Kelly Jr.
  Rhonda Farmer
  Jim Hurdle
  Gloria Hurdle
  Ferd Westermeyer
  Betty Westermeyer
  Ann Todd
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the 
volunteers at the Prince William Forest Park for their service and in 
thanking them for their dedication to our community.
