RECOGNIZING PATRICIA SINCAVAGE
(Mr. SMUCKER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, Friday was International Women's Day and,
today, I rise to recognize the service of a remarkable woman in my
district: Ms. Patricia Sincavage of Lititz, Pennsylvania.
Ms. Sincavage has served as an occupational therapist at the Lebanon
Veterans Affairs Medical Center since 1978. She joined the VA after
graduating from Elizabethtown College. The Lebanon VA serves about 80
percent of the veterans who reside in my district.
She has spent the entirety of her professional career giving back to
our veterans. Occupational therapy can assist veterans in continuing to
take care of their health needs while still doing the activities they
enjoy simply by adapting or doing things differently.
Ms. Sincavage is retiring from the VA after 43 years of service. She
has four children, 11 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She has
served our Nation's veterans well, and it is an honor to recognize her
today.
