                      Wednesday, December 21, 2022

  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the Disabled American Veterans Al Jordan Chapter 15 on the 
100th anniversary of its founding.
  In 1932, Congress granted a federal charter to Disabled American 
Veterans (DAV), then the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, 
establishing it as the official voice of disabled veterans. Since its 
founding on June 12, 1922, in Stockton, California, the DAV Al Jordan 
Chapter 15 has cared for and represented countless veterans in San 
Joaquin County who were rendered disabled during their service.
  Today, the DAV Al Jordan Chapter 15 continues its important work by 
providing assistance to those filing disability claims with the 
Department of Veterans Affairs and directing veterans to vital 
resources and services. The DAV Al Jordan Chapter 15 has helped many 
wounded warriors in our community transition to fulfilling futures upon 
return to civilian life.
  I commend all the members of Disabled American Veterans Al Jordan 
Chapter 15, past and present, for a century of dedication to those who 
served our great nation. I invite my colleagues to join me in honoring 
them today.
