                 ARTILLERY TEA CO. PUTS VETERANS FIRST

  (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, in light of Memorial Day, 
I rise today to recognize three Falls Creek natives, which are 
Jefferson and Clearfield Counties, for founding the first of its kind 
tea company with a focus on giving back to veteran and first responder 
organizations.
  Mike, Chris, and Joey Britton founded Artillery Tea Co. with veterans 
and first responders in mind. The youngest brother, Joey, is a 9-year 
Army veteran, giving the brothers firsthand access to these 
organizations.
  The company launched on July Fourth last year and is now spreading 
the word and their mission to ``be able to support vets the best we 
can.''
  One of the groups they donate to is Gold Star Families. This group 
supports families of fallen soldiers. They also work with Project 
Lakeview, a group out of Delaware focused on supporting families of 
fallen first responders.
  Mr. Speaker, the brothers work with a partner in Pennsylvania to 
manufacture the product, allowing them to keep everything as local as 
possible. Tea can be ordered from artilleryteaco.com and can be shipped 
anywhere.
  On Memorial Day and every day, we should remember the great sacrifice 
our men and women make to protect our freedoms and keep us safe. 
Artillery Tea Co. focuses on continuing to support the families of 
those whose loved ones paid the ultimate sacrifice.
