                          COMMANDER DOYLE LYNN

  (Mr. ROTHFUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exemplary 
efforts of Bob Weismantle and the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 
862 Honor Guard in their remembrance of Commander Doyle Lynn of 
Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania.
  Commander Lynn served our country as a U.S. Navy pilot. On May 27, 
1965, while flying a combat mission in Vietnam, Commander Lynn's plane 
was shot down by the enemy.
  Following this tragedy, Commander Lynn was deemed missing in action. 
Fifty-three years later, Bob Weismantle and fellow Vietnam veterans 
requested that Hopewell Township in Beaver County install a street sign 
to commemorate their missing comrade.
  Today, this honor was rightfully bestowed. The Commander Doyle Lynn 
street sign is proudly mounted on West Wade Street.
  The care and dedication shown by Bob and the Vietnam Veterans of 
America Chapter 862 for their missing brother-in-arms speaks volumes to 
their character and the loyalty that our veterans have for one another.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank all our veterans for their selfless sacrifice 
defending our country.
  May God bless Commander Doyle Lynn.
