               HONORING BEAVER COUNTY'S VIETNAM VETERANS

  (Mr. ROTHFUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Beaver County 
Vietnam Veterans of America.
  I join Beaver County residents and all western Pennsylvanians in 
thanking them for their service to our Nation, as well as their efforts 
to bring The Wall that Heals, a traveling Vietnam Memorial, to Beaver 
County for the second time.
  The Wall that Heals is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans 
Memorial in Washington, D.C. It travels across the country and provides 
greater access to the memorial for those who may not be able to visit 
it in our Nation's capital.
  At more than 600 members strong, the Beaver County Vietnam Veterans 
of America is the largest chapter in Pennsylvania and the third largest 
chapter in the Nation. Thanks to their efforts, The Wall that Heals 
will be in Quay Square in Darlington from September 24 through 
September 28.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring the service 
of all Vietnam veterans and thanking the members of the Beaver County 
Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 862, for their hard work in once 
again bringing The Wall that Heals to Beaver County.
