                     IN RECOGNITION OF RITA McCABE

                                 ______

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 18, 2022

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Rita 
McCabe's years of service for Veterans of Foreign Wars. In 2010, Rita 
made history as the first President of the John H. Hargreaves Pelham 
Memorial Auxiliary 10722. In her time with the organization, Rita has 
provided Officer Training Sessions, as well as earned several 
distinguishments, including an Outstanding President award.
  Rita became a business owner in 2014, opening the first Sub Zero 
Nitrogen Ice Cream shop in Nashua, New Hampshire, and has expanded the 
franchise to add locations in Ashland, Worchester, Cambridge, and 
Manchester.
  Rita's community involvement and impact do not end there. She was a 
Girl Scout Leader for 7 years, a Pastoral Council member for St. 
Patrick's Church twice and served two terms as Director-at-large for 
the Veteran Business Owners Initiative. Her commitment to bettering her 
community led Rita to provide unique hybrid training opportunities for 
officers at the John H. Hargreaves Pelham Memorial Auxiliary. Rita is a 
dedicated supporter of our troops, businesswoman and volunteer. The 
Granite State is thankful for her years of commitment and service.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to thank Rita McCabe for her continued dedication to 
the Auxiliary and congratulate her on her many well-deserved awards.
