                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 12, 2020

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Lester A. Burdette of Huntingdon County for his service in the United 
States Army. Lester is an outstanding Pennsylvanian, and I am grateful 
for his service to our nation, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and 
our community.
  In Pennsylvania and across the country, our veterans have served and 
sacrificed for Americans' freedom and our values. They answered the 
call to serve and fight for us--at a great cost. Truly, our veterans 
are the best of America.
  In Congress, it is my privilege--and my responsibility--to stand up 
for those who have served our country in uniform, as well as to 
recognize these brave Americans. As a nation, we are indebted to them. 
On behalf of the 13th Congressional District, I thank Lester for his 
service to our nation and our community.
