commander of American Legion Post 86 in Newton, New Jersey. He spent
time in Bergen County and Sussex County. He was a firefighter. He was a
man who served and then came back and served more.
  For years, my good friend did what a lot of people talk about but few
actually do. He fought every single day to make sure our veterans got
the healthcare they earned and deserved and to make sure they were
looked out for. He never forgot anyone, and that is why he was such a
special man. We all miss him.
  Tony was instrumental in opening the Sussex County, New Jersey,
Veterans Affairs Clinic in 2017, the CBOC. He and I worked side by
side, cutting through red tape to get veterans real referrals, real
specialists, and real healthcare--healthcare that they earned and
deserved.
  Sadly, Tony passed away in 2020, leaving behind his wife, Betsy; his
brilliant daughters, Ashley, Sarah, and Ally; and an incredible legacy
of helping those in need. Today's vote on this bill will honor his name
and his work at the very clinic he helped to build.
  I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, he literally helped build it. We sat at
a picnic bench right outside the clinic many times talking about how we
could make it better and how we could deliver more service to veterans.
  He never forgot that for a second. He never forgot the country he
served, and he never forgot the flag he saluted every day with such
great pride.
  It is Americans like him we should all look up to. It is Americans
like him who built this great country for 250 years. It is why we
should honor him today.
  This isn't partisan. It is just common sense. It is what we owe every
person who ever wore the uniform and protected our great Nation.
  I thank his family--Betsy, Ashley, Sarah, and Ally--for sharing Tony
with all of us. I know how hard it is right now without him, but his
legacy goes on, and it looms large. He lives on. No one has forgotten
him for a minute. When we go to The American Legion, we all talk about
him. There are pictures everywhere, and he continues to be a light in
New Jersey, in our country, and for all of us as somebody we should
look up to.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the House to pass this legislation, and I am so
grateful for the bipartisan support. I also urge the Senate--I know
Senator Cory Booker has taken the lead on this--to take this up quickly
and honor our great hero, Tony Gallopo.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I have no more speakers. I am ready to close,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 6007
to honor this very deserving veteran, and I yield back the balance of
my time.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, once again, I encourage all Members to support
this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost) that the House suspend the rules and
pass the bill, H.R. 6007.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
