                      Tuesday, September 17, 2019

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to 
congratulate Dick Shaffer, one of the recipients of this year's 
Encompass Health Personal Achievement Award.
  Dick's first injury was in 1991 when he fell off a ladder while he 
got stung by a hornet as he was cleaning his gutters. He shattered his 
hip as a result of this. Most recently he fell at his home, cutting his 
head.
  Throughout the years he has showed up each time for his 
rehabilitation with the determination to succeed over his injury, 
working hard to return to his healthy self.
  Despite the challenges he faced, Dick never let his previous injuries 
deter him from living his life. He still maintains his positive 
attitude. strength, and love for his family.
  Congratulations once again to Dick on this recognition.
