HONORING SCOTT WINTERS FOR HIS WORK SUPPORTING VETERANS
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor
Scott Winters, the readjustment counselor at the DuBois Veterans Center
in Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District.
Mr. Winters provides a wide range of psychosocial services offered to
eligible veterans, servicemembers, and their families. His efforts
assist our veterans in making a successful transition from the military
to civilian life.
Recently, Mr. Winters was recognized by the Spring Creek Chapter of
Trout Unlimited for presenting a listening skills course to their
Veterans Service

Partnership streamside mentors and other interested members to support
veterans in crisis situations.
The VSP program is a Trout Unlimited initiative to serve veterans,
Active-Duty military, and their families by engaging them through the
recreational benefits of angling, with the support of the Trout
Unlimited community.
Mr. Winters' service that he provided in training has been utilized
by at least one volunteer to save a veteran's life who was in crisis.
Mr. Speaker, Scott Winters has gone above and beyond to be available
at a moment's notice to support veterans in his community, and his
service is greatly appreciated.
