  Mr. ALTMIRE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Pastor Calvin C. 
Brown. Pastor Brown has served as the pastor for the Tabernacle Baptist 
Church in Beaver Falls for the past 46 years. During his years of 
service to the community, he has become a well known and beloved church 
leader for the residents of Beaver Falls and families throughout the 
region.
  Throughout his illustrious career, Pastor Brown brought hope to many 
by starting ministries and preaching across the country. He has been an 
exceptional citizen within his home community where he worked 
tirelessly to help others who are less fortunate. His accomplishments 
include working with the Housing Authority of Beaver County to locate 
homes for those in need, serving as chaplain for the local sheriff's 
department in Beaver Falls, and performing marriage ceremonies for 
countless couples. Local residents often speak with Pastor Brown on his 
regular walks around town, where he warmly greets others and always 
lifts their spirits. -
  I want to commend Pastor Brown for his commitment to the community of 
Beaver Falls as a pastor, brother, friend, and confidant. I 
congratulate him on his career and wish him all the best in his 
retirement.
