  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the recipients of the 
2013 Town of Dumfries Volunteer Awards.
   The Town of Dumfries was chartered on May 11, 1749, by the Virginia 
General Assembly, eventually becoming Virginia's oldest continuously 
chartered town. The Town covers a land area of 1.6 square miles in 
eastern Prince William County, and it is located 31 miles southwest of 
Washington, D.C. Dumfries served as a busy tobacco port for the 
Virginia Colony during the 17th and 18th centuries until the onset of 
the American Revolution. Today, more than 4,900 residents call the Town 
of Dumfries home. Several of these residents have volunteered their 
time and energy over the past year to help the town government organize 
a wide variety of activities and events, and the work of these 
volunteers deserves recognition.
   It is my honor to submit the names of the 2013 Town of Dumfries
