                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Dave Borcky 
for his efforts in support of the newly renovated City of McFarland's 
Veterans Community Center.
  A native of McFarland, California, Dave served our country as a 
member of the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Since his 
return, he has worked tirelessly in the community to ensure veterans 
receive the recognition they deserve. Dave is an active member of the 
Lions Club and coaches 27 students from McFarland High School in the 
aptly named the LEOS Club. Dave and his fellow Lions organize local 
food drives, back-to-school drives and many other activities that 
improve the lives of the McFarland residents.
  In December 2011, Dave was named Grand Marshall for the McFarland 
Christmas Parade. Mr. Borcky is also an active member of his American 
Legion Post, Boys and Girls State activities.
  Without a doubt, Dave has been a key player in McFarland's community 
for a number of years. It is with great pride that I recognize Mr. Dave 
Borcky for his service and leadership and congratulate him on his 
efforts to memorialize American heroes through the McFarland Veterans 
Community Center.
