                     Wednesday, September 27, 2023

  Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Specialist Donald W. 
Scalf of Bluff City in Sullivan County, Tennessee for his honorable 
military service in the United States Army from 1963 to 1965. SPC Scalf 
proudly served with the 37th Field Artillery Unit in Schwabisch Hall, 
Germany in support of the 24th Infantry Division following the 
construction of the Berlin Wall.
  As a member of the Communications Section, he managed the switchboard 
to coordinate phone lines between the 8in Howitzer Batteries and 
protect from interception by the enemy. SPC Scalf often recollects the 
memorable experiences he had in Germany, including digging trenches in 
the deep snow of Southern Germany to maintain switchboard operations or 
going ahead of the Howitzer guns to prepare for the next position.
  Please join me in recognizing Specialist Donald W. Scalf for his 
distinguished military service to our great Nation.

                          ____________________
