Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Secretary- Treasurer Mary Shultz and her husband Dave for their years of service to the Garland-Tompkins American Legion Post 399. Through their exceptional leadership, steadfast devotion, and willingness to serve, the Shultz family has become an indispensable part of Michigan's First District.

After the Legion Hall burned down in 1992, Secretary-Treasurer Shultz volunteered to help in the financing and construction of the new hall. For the next 30 years, she served dutifully as the Post's Secretary- Treasurer--paying bills, tracking membership, and providing sound advice to the Post's Commanders. Her `boots on the ground' work ethic has driven the Post's success and inspired a higher level of achievement from its members. During the Post's dinners and community outreach events, Secretary-Treasurer Shultz has worked closely with other senior leadership to ensure that every member and guest feels welcome. In all of her efforts, she has been supported by her husband Dave, who has also played a major role in the execution of the Post's tasks and projects. Serving as a sounding board to the Post's leadership, he has always provided the right advice for the occasion. This family team's collective contributions to the Post and community cannot be overstated.

Madam Speaker, on behalf of Michigan's First Congressional District, I ask you to join me in recognizing the service of Secretary-Treasurer Mary Shultz and Dave Shultz. Their actions and work have embodied the highest level of patriotism and service to the citizens of their community.
