  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 50th 
Anniversary of Washington County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 
6996. VFW Post 6996 was established in 1965 in Potosi, Missouri. Since 
then, members of Post 6996 have contributed countless volunteer hours 
in the Washington County community. Their selfless acts continue to set 
an admirable example for all.
  VFW Post 6996 is comprised of members who have served honorably in 
foreign wars or overseas operations. These dedicated veterans seek to 
continue serving the American people and their fellow veterans. This 
nonprofit service organization embodies the spirit of service and 
generosity by supporting troops currently overseas and ensuring 
returning veterans have access to health care, counseling, and housing.
  For their many years of service and commitment to helping others, it 
is my pleasure to recognize the 50th Anniversary of Washington County 
Memorial VFW Post 6996 in the House of Representatives.
