                      Thursday, November 14, 2019

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Roland Heaton 
of Townsend for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to his country and dedication to the community.
   Mr. Heaton served in the U.S. Army as a maintenance technician in 
Vietnam and Japan. He received multiple commendations for his service, 
including the Good Conduct Medal and the Vietnam Campaign award.
   Mr. Heaton's heart to serve lead him to create a project that 
generates funding to assist the community's first responders with the 
purchase of non-budget equipment. This allows them to better serve the 
community. Since it was created, it has raised over $15,000 to purchase 
the needed equipment. Additionally, Mr. Heaton serves on the board of 
the county food bank and volunteers there regularly.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Roland Heaton for 
his service and dedication.
