  Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent 
and Vietnam era veteran John Stewart of Telford, Tennessee who served 
in the United States Army from 1967 through 1970. He was stationed in 
Korea, as well as Vietnam, where he served as a heavy equipment 
operator.
  Stewart was first stationed in South Korea working on clearing roads 
in the winter for convoys near the Joint Security Area. While working 
there he witnessed the famous POW exchange of the Navy soldiers who 
were captured by North Korea on the USS Pueblo. In October of 1969, he 
was deployed to South Vietnam where he transported construction 
machinery.
  After finishing his tour in Vietnam, he safely returned to his home 
in the United States in late 1970.
