                     RECOGNIZING THE DAHL BROTHERS

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize two senior 
airmen, brothers from south Jersey whose commitment to this country and 
their family embody all that makes America so amazing.
  Thomas ``Jeff'' Dahl, Jr., and Charles Dahl are the sons of 
Lieutenant Colonel Tom and Jennifer Dahl.
  Jeff joined the New Jersey Air Force National Guard in January 2018 
as a fuel systems apprentice and currently attends Rutgers University 
in New Jersey.
  Charles Dahl joined the National Guard in May 2019 as a munitions 
assistant apprentice.
  Both men are avid and well-known outdoorsmen, and they are committed 
to their community and south Jersey.
  These young men are in the pool to deploy with the 177th Fighter Wing 
in 2021. This carries on a family legacy of combat deployments going 
back to their grandfather, who deployed to Korea, and their father, who 
deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
  Men, you inspire all of us with your lives and the future that I know 
will be an inspiration for many others. I was happy to crash your party 
that day and get to know you just a little bit better.
  God bless you, God bless what you do, God bless your bravery, and God 
bless the United States of America.
