        RECOGNIZING BUCKS COUNTY ELITE GIRLS BASKETBALL PROGRAM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Bucks 
County Elite Girls basketball program and those who were recently 
recognized by the Monroe Foundation for Youth and presented awards for 
their service to our community as well as for their athletic and their 
academic achievements.
  Over the last year and a half, the team has won 11 tournaments. This 
is an incredible achievement that speaks to their teamwork, their 
coaching, and their dedication. Moreover, many of the team members are 
also honor students, and many more are active community volunteers 
throughout our region.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Bucks County Elite 
Girls basketball program for this amazing accomplishment, and we look 
forward to their future success.


                          Keystone Food Drive

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
incredible work of the students, the staff, and the families of Bristol 
Township's Keystone Elementary School.
  This holiday season, the Keystone community came together to help 27 
local families in need. The students and staff at the school donated 
nonperishable items throughout November, and Oldcastle Infrastructure 
of Croydon, Pennsylvania, provided turkeys and pies to accompany the 
meal baskets.
  Mr. Speaker, this is the third consecutive year that Oldcastle 
Infrastructure has partnered with the Keystone families. It is great to 
see our communities come together to help those families who have 
fallen on hard times, and that is what makes neighbors so great. They 
are always there to help others in times of need.
  Mr. Speaker, we hope to see this program continue in the future, and 
we hope other communities will follow their lead.


                            Salute 2 Service

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Salute 2 
Service, a veteran outreach program based in Bristol, Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania.
  Founded by Langhorne's Rodney Wyatt, Salute 2 Service prides itself 
on its ability to provide a multitude of services and resources for our 
veterans in distress. In addition to extensive work towards career 
growth and homeless outreach, they help veterans through local, State, 
and national advocacy, community activism, and emergency assistance.

  Mr. Speaker, the motto of Salute 2 Service is ``Leave No Veteran 
Behind.'' With nearly a half million unemployed veterans across our 
great Nation, Salute 2 Service has vowed to help find jobs for the 
servicemen and servicewomen in our community.
  I am proud to represent Salute 2 Service and Rodney, and I am glad to 
see like-minded groups working together to help our veterans each and 
every day.
