RECOGNIZING SETH PARISH ON TAKE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today is Take Your Son or
Daughter to Work Day. While my three sons are grown, I have the
privilege of having a friend of mine, Seth Parish, with me today.
Seth is 12 years old and hails from Maryland. He is actively involved
in baseball, playing center outfield, ice hockey, and has recently
joined the Civil Air Patrol where he learns about aerospace and
survival skills.
Our schedule is busy today as the House Agriculture Committee held a
2022 farm bill review hearing. Seth joined me for that, and he is also
joining me for this speech today.
In 2009, Seth's dad was serving in the Army and lost his life a month
before Seth was born. This is the fourth year Seth has joined me
through a program called Tuesday's Children. Tuesday's Children uses
its experience and expertise to help our military families work through
their own losses.
Mr. Speaker, I hope Seth is enjoying being my shadow again this year,
and I can't wait to see all that he can accomplish.
