                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 25, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, today I honor the West Nantmeal Township 
Historic Commission. The individuals who make up this commission 
dedicate their time to the preservation of their community's past. This 
team ensures historic records and structures are not lost to time. They 
also hold monthly meetings and informative events that engage and 
stimulate the community's appreciation for their shared history. This 
engagement provides an opportunity for individuals to share their own 
history, which the historic commission uses to build upon the 
community's story, deepening everyone's understanding and appreciation 
for their past.
  On September 23rd, this group will hold a dedication ceremony that 
honors the crew and pilot of a B-24 Bomber that crashed in the West 
Nantmeal Township during a World War II training mission.
  It is because of their efforts that stories like that of the flight 
crew will not be lost to history.
  I thank the West Nantmeal Township Historic Commission's dedication 
to their community's past.
