  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize David Grenier, 
founder of Hero Grain. David crafts wooden, handmade American flags 
that he sells and donates to organizations that assist veterans and 
first responders. David is a Hero himself as he served our country for 
13 years as a U.S. Marine and then a Navy SEAL. He left the service to 
look after his daughter who has special needs. David struggled with his 
transition from military to civilian life, but he found his passion 
when he created Hero Grain to make a difference in both his own life 
and veterans at large.
  His company's mission is to employ combat veterans and donate flags 
to the families of the fallen and extraordinary heroes. David has a 
great sense of pride when he accredits outstanding soldiers by donating 
one of his handcrafted American flags. I thank him for his service, and 
for going above and beyond for service members across our community.
