         HONORING THE SELFLESS BRAVERY OF TIMOTHY CHADWICK, SR.

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the selfless bravery 
and service of a member of my community in New York's 22nd 
Congressional District, Timothy Chadwick, Sr.
  Mr. Chadwick served our country in the Air Force during the Vietnam 
war. Timothy's story is shared by so many Vietnam veterans across our 
country. While serving in Laos, Timothy was exposed to Agent Orange, 
which has plagued his health ever since.
  Many U.S. servicemembers who were stationed in Vietnam were exposed 
to the toxic herbicide known as Agent Orange. As a result, our veterans 
are at an increased risk of developing cancer, Parkinson's disease, 
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and many other deadly illnesses.
  These brave veterans risked everything to defend our freedom, and 
they deserve our support as they overcome the effects of their service. 
I will never stop standing up and fighting for veterans like they stood 
up and fought for us.
  God bless men like Timothy Chadwick and so many others who served our 
Nation honorably, and God bless all the men and women currently serving 
in the U.S. Armed Forces.
