 RECOGNIZING SECRETARY-TREASURER MARY SHULTZ AND HER HUSBAND DAVE FOR

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 2022

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Secretary-
Treasurer Mary Shultz and her husband Dave for their years of service 
to the Garland-Tompkins American Legion Post 399. Through their 
exceptional leadership, steadfast devotion, and willingness to serve, 
the Shultz family has become an indispensable part of Michigan's First 
District.
  After the Legion Hall burned down in 1992, Secretary-Treasurer Shultz 
volunteered to help in the financing and construction of the new hall. 
For the next 30 years, she served dutifully as the Post's Secretary-
Treasurer--paying bills, tracking membership, and providing sound 
advice to the Post's Commanders. Her `boots on the ground' work ethic 
has driven the Post's success and inspired a higher level of 
achievement from its members. During the Post's dinners and community 
outreach events, Secretary-Treasurer Shultz has worked closely with 
other senior leadership to ensure that every member and guest feels 
welcome. In all of her efforts, she has been supported by her husband 
Dave, who has also played a major role in the execution of the Post's 
tasks and projects. Serving as a sounding board to the Post's 
leadership, he has always provided the right advice for the occasion. 
This family team's collective contributions to the Post and community 
cannot be overstated.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of Michigan's First Congressional District, 
I ask you to join me in recognizing the service of Secretary-Treasurer 
Mary Shultz and Dave Shultz. Their actions and work have embodied the 
highest

level of patriotism and service to the citizens of their community.
