      HONORING DIANE YODER FOR HER SELFLESS SERVICE TO OUR HEROES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DANIEL MEUSER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 2019

  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with profound respect that I rise 
today to honor Diane Yoder of Fleetwood for her incredible service to 
our community's veterans and first responders.
  The Yoder family is a military family; all three of Diane's children 
served, following a family tradition of service. When her son Jarett 
was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2013, Diane took up this call to 
service herself. She began the Jarett Yoder Foundation, a non-profit 
with 10 Patriot Houses in Pennsylvania for veterans and first 
responders at risk of homelessness. She is now working with more than 
170 families to provide important resources to them in times of need.
  Diane has touched countless lives through her work and carries on the 
memory of her son's service in her own. I ask my colleagues to join me 
in honoring Diane Yoder for her tireless service for Pennsylvania's 
veterans and first responders.
