                       RECOGNIZING GOD'S PIT CREW

  (Mr. RIGGLEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RIGGLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of 
God's Pit Crew, a Virginia crisis response team of Fifth District 
constituents who have done incredible work providing aid and support in 
response to over 130 natural disasters across the country and around 
the globe.
  Their work began in 1999 when Randy and Terri Johnson drove three 
truckloads of supplies to Oklahoma City after a devastating tornado. 
Twenty years later, their coalition of friends and neighbors has grown 
to over 400 members who have volunteered their time and skills to help 
those in need.
  Most recently, these Danville residents provided aid to the Bahamas 
after Hurricane Dorian this summer and the wildfires in Paradise, 
California, late last year.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing these 
Virginians for their service to our communities and the work they have 
done for those in need.
  God bless God's Pit Crew.
