                            LANCE T. SHANER

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Lance T. Shaner of Centre County, Pennsylvania. This week, on September 
13, 2012, Lance will be honored as the 2012 recipient of the Navy 
League of Central Pennsylvania's Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy 
Distinguished Citizen Award.
  The Navy League of Central Pennsylvania is an organization dedicated 
to enhancing public awareness of the missions and challenges facing 
today's Armed Forces, as well as advocating for the well-being of the 
men and women who serve.
  The Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy Distinguished Citizen Award is given 
to a nonactive duty person whose character, distinguished military or 
civilian service, and stature draw wholesome comparison to the 
qualities for which the Navy League of Central Pennsylvania Council 
strives to promote.
  Lance Shaner, chairman of the Shaner Group, is known throughout 
central Pennsylvania for his various community efforts, which include 
the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County, United Way, 
Centre Volunteers in Medicine, the Boy Scouts of America, the YMCA, 
Mount Nittany Medical Center, and many other programs that benefit our 
community.
  I want to thank Lance Shaner for his service to our community, and I 
congratulate him on this distinguished award.
