                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM KINZINGER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 2016

  Mr. KINZINGER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
2016 recipients of the Congressional Veteran Commendation in the 16th 
District of Illinois.
  The eight veterans receiving this commendation have served this 
country honorably and fought for the freedoms we hold dearly. These 
veterans answered their country's call during World War II, the Korean 
War, and the Vietnam War, and they served with honor and distinction. 
As a fellow war veteran, I thank them for their patriotism and 
sacrifices on behalf of our nation.
  After these veterans served their country, they came home to serve 
their communities. They are civic leaders, active citizens, and many 
continue to serve their military brothers and sisters through veteran 
service organizations. Although their mission has changed since 
returning to civilian life, their leadership and tenacity have not.
  The recipients of the 2016 Congressional Veteran Commendation are: 
Lance Corporal Glenn Borvansky of Marseilles, IL; Seaman Charles R. 
Brown of Diamond, IL; Sergeant John F. Duback of Ottawa, IL; Specialist 
Four Wayne A. Eichelkraut of Ottawa, IL; Sergeant Mervin Eutis of Grand 
Ridge, IL; Master Sergeant Glen Maubach of Blackstone, IL; Specialist 
Five Harold R. Olsen of Arlington, IL; and Specialist Five Richard 
Sanders of Dixon, IL.
  I am honored to be able to recognize these notable veterans. The 
recipients of this commendation serve as the embodiment of both 
military and civil service, and it is my hope they will inspire the 
next generation.
