                   GARLAND DENNY--A DEDICATED PATRIOT

  (Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of my good friend, 
Garland Denny, a true and dedicated patriot devoted to helping veterans 
in need.
  Mr. Denny died last week at the age of 84. During the Korean war, Mr. 
Denny served our country aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt.
  Following a long and successful career as a structural steel 
draftsman, Mr. Denny spent his retirement advocating for a special 
postage stamp to raise money for veterans' services.
  In support of Mr. Denny, 55 Members of the House and Senate joined me 
this summer in writing the U.S. Postmaster General urging the creation 
of a Stamp Out PTSD semipostal stamp to help raise money for PTSD 
research and treatment.
  We remain committed to Mr. Denny's goal of helping veterans and 
overcoming the bureaucracy standing in the way. Mr. Denny reminds us 
that one committed American can make a big difference.
  His sons, Chuck and James, have joined me today in the House Chamber 
and intend to carry on their father's mission. May God bless you both 
and your sister, Sue.
