                HONORING MONTANA VETERAN JACK KINDELMAN

  (Mr. ROSENDALE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge an 
extraordinary Montanan whose service to his country is a powerful 
reminder of the legacy we inherit from the Greatest Generation.
  Jack Kindelman grew up in Roundup, Montana, during the dark days of 
the Great Depression in World War II. At the age of 17, Jack joined the 
United States Navy during the final months of the war and served with 
distinction despite his youth.
  Unwilling to sit on the sidelines at the war's conclusion, Jack would 
answer the call to service in Korea, where he rescued dozens of 
refugees fleeing the conflict in a small fishing boat.
  Since then, Jack has been a pillar of the community in Billings where 
he volunteers at St. Vincent Healthcare, having served over 10,000 
hours to date.
  Mr. Speaker, Jack Kindelman's dedicated service has touched countless 
lives in Montana and across the United States. It is an honor to 
represent him and thousands of veterans just like him in Congress, and 
it is my privilege to recognize Jack on the floor of the United States 
House of Representatives.
