                       HONORING DENNIS WOLFE, SR.

  (Mr. LANGWORTHY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an American hero, 
Mr. Dennis Wolfe, Sr. Recently, during this recess, I had the privilege 
to visit the Vietnam War Museum in my district in Elmira, New York; the 
first museum of its kind in America.
  It was there that I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Denny Wolfe. 
Denny's story is one of sacrifice, service, and unwavering dedication 
to our great Nation.
  He served with distinction in Vietnam as a helicopter crew chief with 
the Army's First Air Cavalry Division during some of the most 
challenging years of the war.
  In those years, we lost thousands of our brave American heroes, and 
Denny himself lost dear friends that he told me about.
  His service to our country did not end when he returned home. 
Instead, Denny chose to dedicate his life to preserving the legacy of 
his fellow servicemembers and those that paid the ultimate price in 
Vietnam.
  He and many other patriots in that region founded the Vietnam War 
Museum in Elmira. As its president, he has poured his heart and soul 
into telling the stories of those who served.
  Thank you, Denny, for your service, your unwavering commitment to 
your fellow veterans, and your love for our country. You serve as an 
inspiration to us all.
