                       Wednesday, March 23, 2016

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of an 
Arkansas legend, Mr. Dwight Witcher.
   Dwight has been named the 2016 Faulkner County Veteran of the Year.
   Dwight was a marine in Vietnam and continued serving in the 
Mediterranean and out of Subic Bay in the Philippines.
   Dwight's dedication to this country did not end after he left the 
military. He has been a strong and steady voice for veterans in 
Arkansas for decades.
   He served two years as the Marine Corps League Department of 
Arkansas Commandant and serves as president of the Arkansas Veterans 
Coalition. He also currently sits on the Board of Directors for the 
Arkansas Military Hall of Fame.
   I would like to extend my congratulations to Dwight and his family 
for this very deserving award.
