  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Ward Transport & Logistics for its longstanding dedication to our 
central Pennsylvania community as it celebrates 90 years of service. 
For decades, this nationally recognized trucking company has been 
instrumental in supplying and sustaining our local economy.
  Since W. W. Ward founded the company in 1931, Ward Transport & 
Logistics has grown substantially and now operates 20 locations across 
the northeastern United States. This success is testament to the hard 
work and dedication of the Ward family. Ninety years later, Ward 
Transport & Logistics is now led by the fourth generation of the Ward 
family and it employs more than 1,400 workers in Pennsylvania and 
beyond.
  As the company has expanded, its community outreach also has grown. 
Ward Hearts & Hands is a volunteer program overseen by employees with a 
heart for service. Their work to support critical community projects 
includes setting up charity events, serving meals and partnering with 
local food banks, delivering supplies to elderly members of the Blair 
County community, and fostering a children's mentoring program to grow 
the next generation of talent in our community.
  Throughout their work to provide essential services, Ward Transport & 
Logistics has gone above and beyond in support of the Blair County 
community. As the Ward family and their entire team celebrate 90 years 
of service, I congratulate Ward Transport & Logistics on this 
outstanding legacy and wish them continued success.
