I am proud to say that on Sunday, Vietnam war veteran Raymond Clark Thompson's name is being added to the Vietnam War Memorial Wall where he will be remembered for his valiant service in the Army and extraordinary sacrifice for our country. A native of Indiana and the oldest of six children, Ray served in the Vietnam War as a radio specialist. Mr. Speaker, I would like to waive my time, and I will try again in a few minutes. ____________________

I am concerned about a potential large cutback that would reduce our efforts in Meals on Wheels, housing for seniors.
