                       RECOGNIZING WARREN PARADA

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a son of north Texas 
who is an innovator, a leader, and one of the most remarkable citizens 
that the city knows. His name is Warren Parada.
  I didn't meet Warren in a boardroom. He was someone who reached out 
to my office, like many people do on casework, because he had an uncle 
who was a Vietnam vet who was having issues with his casework. His 
claim is still under review today, as too many veterans' are, but here 
is what really set Warren apart.
  He really turned his family frustrations into a solution, and his 
question was not: How do I do this? It was: What if I could make this 
easier for someone?

  That is what Warren has tried to do with his BVARadar tool that helps 
scan claims, identifies missing information, and compares them against 
Board of Veterans' Appeals rulings, something that could help veterans 
who are really out there struggling.
  For 3 years now, Warren has been battling cancer, and he wrote this 
code in between rounds of chemotherapy and surgery, really leaning on 
his faith.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Warren for everything that he is doing to 
help veterans like his uncle as he is fighting terminal cancer, which 
his doctor informed him that he had. I thank Warren for his service to 
the community. Dallas thanks him for that, too.
