                 RECOGNIZING THE MEDAL OF HOPE SOCIETY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2016

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Medal of 
Hope Society, an organization in Ohio's Second District committed to 
honoring civilians among us who proudly serve our wounded and fallen 
veterans.
  Founded by one of my constituents, Mr. Richard Lynch, the Medal of 
Hope Society is an organization comprised of wounded military combat 
veterans & Gold Star family members. Every year, these men and women 
recognize a special civilian who demonstrates great dedication to our 
nation's heroes, both living and deceased, who have taken up arms in 
the War on Terror.
  As a veteran of this war, I have seen firsthand the heroism and 
sacrifice of members of our military. I've witnessed the bloodshed and 
loss of life. So I sincerely thank those who dedicate their lives and 
work tirelessly to make sure our returning troops are receiving the 
care and support they need. And thank you, Medal of Hope Society, for 
recognizing their noble commitment.
