                           HON. RUSS FULCHER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 8, 2019

  Mr. FULCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a hometown business 
in Hayden, Idaho that is receiving the Department of Labor's Honoring 
Investment in Recruiting and Employing (HIRE) Vets Medallion Award 
today. Founded as the Los Angeles Aluminum Casting Company in 1947, LA 
Aluminum has been a staple of the local community in Hayden since 1972. 
LA Aluminum makes castings for critical components that support the 
aerospace, automotive, dental, and military industries. As a third-
generation family-owned business in Idaho, Robert Oswald and his 
daughter Sarah continue the great tradition of making American products 
for American companies in Idaho. That's why I am proud to honor the 
Oswald family and the wonderful employees of LA Aluminum for their 
investments in recruiting, employing, and retaining military veterans 
in Idaho. Our veterans answer the call to serve, protect our way of 
life, our system of government, and the freedoms that we want to enjoy 
every day. The HIRE Vets Award is the only federal-level veterans' 
employment award that recognizes companies committed to hiring and 
retaining veterans. I thank the employees of LA Aluminum for 
prioritizing our veterans and those that answered the call to service. 
The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is a symbol of their culture, passion, 
and love for our country and our armed services.
