   HONORING ELDER CORPORATION FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO SERVICE MEMBERS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ZACHARY NUNN

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 22, 2024

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
celebrate the exceptional work demonstrated by Elder Corporation, a 
company that consistently goes above and beyond for our service 
members.
  In 1960, with grit, determination, and a single rubber-tired Ford 
tractor, J. Elder's father and grandfather founded RG Elder. Today, 
Elder Corporation takes on some of the largest excavation projects in 
Iowa, laying groundbreaking work across the metro area.
  Elder Corporation employs service members and veterans throughout the 
state, offering unwavering support, promoting their well-being, and 
fostering a deep sense of appreciation for their contributions. They 
even go so far as to ensure that lawns are mowed, and driveways are 
shoveled, allowing the families of service members to focus on what 
truly matters.
  As a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, I understand firsthand the 
profound impact a supportive employer can have on the families of 
service members. I extend my sincerest thanks to Elder Corporation and 
wish to honor them for their steadfast dedication to Iowans, whether 
they are here in our great state or deployed around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 
tremendous work that Elder Corporation has done for our service 
members.
