                      Tuesday, September 10, 2019

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and commemoration of 
the 225th Anniversary of the founding of Halifax, Pennsylvania. Located 
in Dauphin County, Halifax was established in 1794 where the Armstrong 
Creek meets the Susquehanna River. It was incorporated as the Borough 
of Halifax on May 29, 1875, and named after the nearby Fort Halifax, a 
Pennsylvania stronghold in the French and Indian War.
   Halifax is a community of hard work, strong values, and rooted in 
deep traditions that maintain its connection to its past, sustain it in 
the present, and prepare it to thrive well into the future. Halifax's 
community values--``Service Above Self''--have made it a vibrant and 
vital part of the fabric of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the 
United States of America.
   Halifax will continue to flourish and to serve as a model of 
``communities done right'' for generations to come.
   To our friends and neighbors in Halifax, and on behalf of the 10th 
Congressional District of Pennsylvania, I congratulate the People of 
Halifax on their momentous milestone of this 225th Anniversary, and I 
extend my heartfelt gratitude for their long and continued history of 
contribution to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States 
of America.
