CONGRESSMAN PITTENGER HONORS GARLAND DENNY: ‘A TRUE AND DEDICATED PATRIOT’
Union County veteran Garland Denny tirelessly advocated on behalf of veterans, including fighting for a special stamp to raise money for veterans services. Today, Congressman Robert Pittenger (NC-09) addressed the U.S. House of Representatives in memory of Mr. Denny, who died last week at age 84.
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of my good friend, Garland Denny, a true and dedicated patriot devoted to helping veterans in need. During the Korean War, Mr. Denny served our country aboard the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Following a long and successful career as a structural steel draftsman, Mr. Denny spent his retirement advocating for a special postal stamp to raise money for veterans services.
“In support of Mr. Denny, 55 Members of the House and Senate joined me this summer in writing the U.S. Postmaster General urging the creation of a ‘Stamp Out PTSD’ semi-postal stamp to help raise money for PTSD research and treatment. We remain committed to Mr. Denny’s goal of helping veterans, and overcoming the bureaucracy standing in the way.
“Mr. Denny reminds us that one committed American can make a big difference.”
