        HONORING SCOTT WINTERS FOR HIS WORK SUPPORTING VETERANS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Scott Winters, the readjustment counselor at the DuBois Veterans Center 
in Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District.
  Mr. Winters provides a wide range of psychosocial services offered to 
eligible veterans, servicemembers, and their families. His efforts 
assist our veterans in making a successful transition from the military 
to civilian life.
  Recently, Mr. Winters was recognized by the Spring Creek Chapter of 
Trout Unlimited for presenting a listening skills course to their 
Veterans Service

Partnership streamside mentors and other interested members to support 
veterans in crisis situations.
  The VSP program is a Trout Unlimited initiative to serve veterans, 
Active-Duty military, and their families by engaging them through the 
recreational benefits of angling, with the support of the Trout 
Unlimited community.
  Mr. Winters' service that he provided in training has been utilized 
by at least one volunteer to save a veteran's life who was in crisis.
  Mr. Speaker, Scott Winters has gone above and beyond to be available 
at a moment's notice to support veterans in his community, and his 
service is greatly appreciated.
