                        Tuesday, August 6, 2019

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the military service of the 173rd Quartermaster Service Company of the 
United States Army.
  On August 9, 2019, the 173rd Quartermaster Service Company is 
celebrating the 50th anniversary of their safe return from Vietnam in 
Greenwood, MS. These brave veterans arrived in Da Nang, Vietnam on 
September 30, 1968. The unit was headquartered both at the Gia Le 
Combat Base and the Phu Bai military complex. During their tour, the 
unit received campaign participation credits for Vietnam 
Counteroffensive Phase V; Vietnam Counteroffensive Phase VI; TET 69 
Counteroffensive; and Vietnam Summer-Fall 69. On August 5, 1969, the 
173rd Quartermaster Service Company returned home to the United States.
  I thank these veterans for their service to our great nation and the 
state of Mississippi.
