     HONORING THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE OF CORPORAL DANNY K. ALLEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DIANA HARSHBARGER

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 2023

  Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to posthumously honor the 
late Corporal Danny K. Allen for his valiant military service during 
the Vietnam War Era. Drafted in 1970, Corporal Allen proudly served in 
the United States Army for 3 years, where he was assigned a tour of 
duty on the Korean peninsula.
  He is survived by his loving daughter, Retha Allen; son, Andrew 
Allen; and 5 grandchildren, LeAnna, Maycan, Anaya, Clay, and Tayte. As 
a devoted family man, his children remember him for his kindness and 
down-to-earth nature. They fondly recall how attentive he was to his 
daughter, then only 13, when she was hospitalized for an entire month; 
how he would hike 3 miles through the wintry snow just to feed the 
livestock; and all the fun they shared on the family's one and only 
camping trip. Corporal Allen was a man of few words, but his words 
carried weight and respect from all who knew him.
  Please join me in thanking Corporal Danny K. Allen for his 
distinguished military service to the United States of America.
