                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 27, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize Darrell Veach of Cortez, Colorado. Darrell is a dedicated 
citizen and leader of the Cortez community and it is my honor to pay 
tribute to his accomplishments before this body of Congress and this 
nation.
  Darrell is a third-generation stockman and a Korean War veteran who 
began his career raising sheep before becoming a cowboy. He is well 
known throughout the community as a good steward of his land and the 
environment. In addition to Darrell's ranching activities, his service 
to the local community goes back over thirty years with the Boy Scouts, 
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Montezuma County 
Planning Commission, and the Colorado Cattleman's Association. The 
Southwestern Colorado Livestock Association, of which Darrell is a 
board member and past president, honored him as its 2003 Stockman of 
the Year. A proud family man, Darrell shares his love for the outdoors 
with his children and grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with honor that I commend Darrell Veach before 
this body of Congress and this great nation for his dedication and 
leadership within his community. His contributions have greatly 
benefited the people of Cortez and I am honored to have this 
opportunity to represent such a fine Coloradan. I wish Darrell the best 
of luck in all his future endeavors.
