  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that 
I recognize Tom Caulfield, the Founder and Director/President of 
Veteran Community Initiatives, for his commitment to our region's 
veterans.
  A U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, Mr. Caulfield has dedicated his life to 
serving others. As founder of Veteran Community Initiatives, he and his 
team have touched the lives of thousands of veterans in our region. 
Since its inception in 1993, Veteran Community Initiatives has helped 
nearly 9,000 veterans and their family members in the PA Laurel 
Highlands and the Southern Alleghenies.
  In addition to his work with VCI, Mr. Caulfield is active with many 
veteran service organizations, including his current work on the James 
E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center's Veterans Advisory Council, the former 
Defense Veterans Brain Injury Center--Johnstown as Board Chairman, the 
Penn Highlands Community College/John P. Murtha Scholarship Committee 
as Chairman, and the Cambria County Business and Education Consortia.
  By caring and advocating for Pennsylvania veterans, Mr. Caulfield has 
established an indelible legacy. It is my privilege to recognize this 
community leader for his lifelong dedication to our nation and to his 
fellow veterans.
