  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. 
Dave Borcky, who passed away on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.
  A native of McFarland, California, Mr. Borcky served our country as a 
member of the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. After his 
return, Dave worked tirelessly in the community to ensure veterans 
receive the recognition they deserve through the McFarland Veterans 
Community Center.
  Mr. Borcky was an active member of many organizations in the Central 
Valley. He was a member of the Lions Club and American Legion Post, 
participated in Boys and Girls State activities, and coached students 
from McFarland High School in the LEOS Club. He organized local food 
drives, back to school drives, and many other activities that improved 
the lives of the McFarland residents. In December 2011, Mr. Borcky was 
named Grand Marshall for the McFarland Christmas Parade.
  Mr. Borcky was a key player in McFarland's community for several 
years. It is with great pride that I recognize him for his service and 
leadership to his country and his community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in honoring the life of Mr. Dave Borcky. Our 
thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this 
difficult time.
