                         Friday, March 18, 2022

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chapter 1032 of the 
Vietnam Veterans of America, based in York, Pennsylvania. We are 
forever indebted to the veteran members of Chapter 1032 and the 
millions of other Vietnam Veterans who selflessly served our nation in 
the armed forces. We must also remember, honor, and give thanks for the 
service of those servicemembers who never returned home and made the 
ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Recognizing the 
sacrifices of all those who served is critically important.
  I would like to extend thanks to a resident of Pennsylvania's 
Eleventh District and Vietnam Veteran, Harold Redding, a member of 
Chapter 1032 whose citizen advocacy prompted Congress to pass 
legislation that made possible the creation of the National Vietnam War 
Veterans Day, which will be observed on March 29. Thanks to Harold's 
efforts and those who supported him, our nation has a dedicated day 
where we can come together to recognize the sacrifices that these brave 
men and women made so that we may live free.
  On this day and every day, we can honor our Vietnam Veterans through 
providing them with the care, recognition, and gratitude that they 
deserve. I extend to Harold and all the veterans of Chapter 1032 my 
most sincere thanks and gratitude, and I stand ready to support them in 
any way that I can as a Member of Congress.
