WASHINGTON DC (September 12, 2019) — Prepared floor remarks by Senator Charles "Chuck" Grassley of Iowa on Remembering Iowan Chuck Geertz:

 

Iowans mourn the loss of Chuck Geertz of Muscatine.

Sargent First Class Geertz was an active-duty service member for 23 years, but continued to serve his nation after his retirement in 2009.

In 2008, Chuck worked to establish the Healing at English River Outfitters or HERO organization.

HERO provides veterans and their families with relaxing outdoor activities for physical and mental healing.

Chuck is remembered for his caring spirit and dedication to his community and fellow veterans.

While he will be missed, his legacy of community service will continue.
