  WELCOMING SETH PARRISH TO CAPITOL FOR TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO WORK DAY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today there are a lot of 
boys and girls in the Capitol who are dressed for success and ready to 
get to work. Of course, I am talking about Take Our Daughters and Sons 
to Work Day.
  While my three sons are grown and my oldest has children of his own, 
I do have the privilege of having Seth Lewis Parrish with me today.
  Seth lives in Maryland, and thanks to the nonprofit Tuesday's 
Children, he gets to spend the day with me; or, rather, I get to spend 
the day with him. This is my second year in a row with my friend, Seth. 
I have had the privilege of hosting him for our Take Our Daughters and 
Sons to Work Day.
  Mr. Speaker, in 2009, Seth's dad was serving in the Army and lost his 
life a month and 2 days, Seth tells me, before he was born. Tuesday's 
Children uses its experience and expertise to help our military 
families work through their own losses.
  April is also the Month of the Military Child, so it is even more of 
an honor for me to have Seth here again with me today. He is a great 
young man with a bright future. He is a Cub Scout, hockey player, flag 
football player, and great kid.
