                       Friday, February 23, 2024

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the tremendous 
life of Gunner Anthony Vignaroli who passed away on February 6, 2024. 
Tony made service to his country and the state of Iowa his life's 
calling.
  Following his graduation from Saydel High School, Tony embarked on a 
life of dedicated service. He served our country valiantly in the 
Vietnam War and then worked at Valley View Village as a Maintenance 
Supervisor.
  Many knew him for his work as a volunteer for the Department of 
Public Safety at the Iowa State Fair, where he helped with security 
efforts. I was honored to work directly with Tony to enhance Iowa State 
Fair safety for more than a million visitors by acquiring a security 
tower for the midway.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Tony 
Vignaroli and the terrific impact he had on his community. I join his 
family and those closest to him in mourning his loss. May his memory 
never be forgotten.
