                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2018

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Charles Kins of 
Eureka, a recipient of the 2018 Montana Congressional Veteran 
Commendation for his service to his country and leadership in his 
community.
  Mr. Kins answered his country's call to service by enlisting in the 
United States Marine Corps in 1967, during the Vietnam War. He served 
four years on active duty, stationed mainly in Japan, and two years as 
a Marine Corps Reservist.
  Mr. Kins is a proud supporter and member of his local American Legion 
Post 74 in Eureka, and a dedicated volunteer and advocate for seniors 
in his community. He is actively involved with the Tobacco Valley 
Senior Citizens Center providing hot meals for seniors and maintenance 
of the community center. In 2016, his dedication earned him the Senior 
Center's ``Senior of the Year'' award. Even though he's nearing his 
70th year, Mr. Kins continues to dedicate himself to serving others in 
his community.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Charles Kins for 
his dedication and service.
