  Mr. JENKINS of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
John and Benjean Rapp of Summersville, West Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Rapp 
are cornerstones in their community, who have dedicated their lives to 
bettering our nation, and improving West Virginia.
  John Rapp served our country in the United States Air Force and 
returned home to the Mountain State to serve as a West Virginia State 
Trooper for over 20 years. Outside his time in uniform, John also 
served as county commissioner for Mercer county from 1990 to 1996. 
While a county commissioner he prioritized growing the economy and 
infrastructure development.
  Benjean Rapp has been an active member of her church and serves as a 
local leader through multiple civic groups.
  Benjean has played an integral part in working to restore the 
historic Old Main High School in Summersville.
  Together, they have made a tremendous team and have had a positive 
impact in their community and the Mountain State.
  I would like to thank them for their service and dedication to not 
just their communities but to our nation. I wish them all the best as 
they continue to work to better our world.
