Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a group that has made a difference in our country, the Guardians of the National Cemetery in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This is a group comprised entirely of volunteers who have assumed the mission and duty of performing many of the sacred functions of the National Cemetery in Washington Crossing, Bucks County. Today, the Guardians, led by their President, Antonio Albano, are 250 members strong. Among this proud group are the visionaries that fought to bring the National Cemetery to its current location in Bucks County. They worked tirelessly through the selection process with the VA not only to select the site, but also to prove that there will always be a dedicated group of individuals willing and able to provide the necessary services to those who rest in this solemn place and to their families. After the VA made the wise decision to locate the cemetery in Bucks County, the Guardians immediately began the work they have become known for--organizing services on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, as well as placing wreaths on the graves of our veterans. These are just some of the things the Guardians do to bring comfort to the bereaved and to honor those who have served us.…
