This weekend, I was proud to stand with our community and join Homes For Our Troops as a new house for an American hero was unveiled. On Saturday morning, Kevin McCloskey and his wife, Bridget, received the keys to their new home in Upper South Hampton in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. On June 8, 2008, Corporal McCloskey was severely injured in Afghanistan after his vehicle struck an IED. He suffered critical injuries to both his legs and vision in his right eye, and he suffered severe burns and traumatic brain injury. While Kevin has made significant progress in his recovery, everyday activities can still be challenging. The McCloskeys' new home is retrofitted to make these tasks easier and more accessible for Kevin and Bridget. Mr. Speaker, Kevin is a true patriot and an American hero. We thank him for his service, and we wish him and Bridget all the best in their new home. We are so proud to have them join our Bucks County family. I would also like to thank Homes For Our Troops and their entire board for honoring those who sacrifice for our freedom. Recognizing Pineville Tavern
