                       Tuesday, February 24, 2015

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 1st Sergeant 
Richard Pinter of New Jersey's Third Congressional District, and to 
express my deepest condolences to his family and friends.
  Sgt. Pinter served our country as a 1st Sergeant in the Army and is 
well known in our district as the ``Lone Bugler'' for honoring fallen 
soldiers and veterans at their funerals. Sgt. Pinter served as a bugler 
in the Army for thirty-eight years and eventually rose to the position 
of Commander and Enlisted Bandleader of the 267th Army Band in 
Philadelphia.
  Sgt. Pinter has also given much of his time to his community as an 
active member of the American Legion of Bordentown Township, 
Association of the National Guard, Vietnam Veterans Association and the 
American Hungarian Civic Association.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Jersey's Third Congressional District 
are tremendously grateful for Sgt. Richard Pinter's service to our 
nation and unique place in our district's culture. It is my honor to 
recognize his life and achievements before the United States House of 
Representatives. May he rest in peace.
