     RECOGNIZING THE FOUNDING OF VFW POST 12205 IN BULVERDE, TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. CHIP ROY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 22, 2021

  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the founding of VFW 
Post 12205 in Bulverde, Texas. I wanted to take a moment to 
congratulate Commander McKinnon and those who helped establish Texas's 
290th VFW Post. Over the past several years, the number of veterans in 
the Spring Branch and Bulverde area has grown tremendously and the need 
for a new VFW has become ever more apparent. As a member of the Veteran 
Affairs Committee, it is critically important to me that we have 
organizations like VFWs present locally to serve our veterans and 
communities, but also to promote patriotism and the American ideals we 
desperately need more of today. I have no doubt that this VFW Post will 
be a source of camaraderie, service, and education. I hope my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives will join me in 
congratulating these American patriots at VFW Post 12205 on their 
inaugural meeting and success in their future endeavors.
