RECOGNIZING SALVATION ARMY OF HARRISONBURG AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTY'S
100TH ANNIVERSARY
(Mr. Cline of Virginia was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Salvation
Army of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. For over 100 years, they
have remained dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ while
providing care and support to all those in need.
Just 60 years after the founding of the international movement known
as the Salvation Army, the Salvation Army of Harrisonburg and
Rockingham County was established on June 27, 1925.
Since its founding, the Salvation Army of Harrisonburg and Rockingham
County has partnered with the local community to efficiently and
effectively assist individuals and families facing poverty. It has made
a positive difference in countless lives, offering a helping hand to
those caught in difficult circumstances.
Today, the organization is faithfully led by Lieutenants Douglas and
Sharon Ingold, who continue the mission of serving others with
compassion and integrity.
The Salvation Army of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County holds its
iconic Red Kettle Campaign every year to raise funds for the
organization's programs that benefit the local area. The organization
remains steadfast in its commitment to offering programs and services
to all those in need without discrimination.
I congratulate the Salvation Army of Harrisonburg and Rockingham
County on doing the most good for 100 years.
Congratulating Roanoke Valley Christian Schools Eagles
Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Roanoke
Valley Christian Schools Eagles varsity boys' basketball team for
winning the 2025 VACA State championship, securing back-to-back titles
and etching their names into school history.
After graduating eight seniors last year, expectations were tempered,
but led by returning seniors Logan Gutierrez, Luke Somers, Matthew
Cummings, Christian Crosby, Ethan Cummings, and Cayden Wayne, along
with new senior Colton Bowman, the Eagles rose to the challenge with
grit and unity.
Logan and Luke each reached the 1,000-point milestone, while
underclassmen like Jacob and Zach Mioduszewski, Landen Gutierrez, Jack
Rakes, and Dallas Riles played vital roles in the team's depth and
success. Eighth-grader Brayden Hawley rounded out the squad and made
his mark, as well.
With Coach Josiah Somers at the helm and a foundation built on
relentless defense and selfless play, the Eagles swept the Southwest
District, South Region, and State titles.
Mr. Speaker, this team showed the heart of champions. I congratulate
the RVCS Eagles.
Eagles soar.
Delivering on President Trump's Priorities in Reconciliation
Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, House Republicans are delivering on the
mandate the American people gave us last November. We passed a
responsible budget resolution, and now we are moving forward with a
strong reconciliation package that reflects President Trump's America
First agenda.
The bill secures our southern border, keeps taxes low for working
families and small businesses, strengthens our economy, protects Social
Security, restores American energy leadership, supports our men and
women in uniform, and brings much-needed accountability to Washington.
We have taken the lead in the House. Now it is time for the Senate to
do the same. When they return to Washington, the Senators should take
up the House resolution, move the bill forward, and send it to the
President's desk.
The American people expect results. They want a government that works
for them, not against them. With this legislation, we have the chance
to make real, lasting change for the American people. Let's get it
done.
