                        TRIBUTE TO ISIDORE GOLD

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak about a very fine 
constituent of mine who has recently celebrated another milestone in 
his life. Isidore Gold, a World War I veteran, reached the distinctive 
age of 100 years on March 4, 1994.
  Born in Minsk, Russia, he emigrated to the United States at a young 
age and settled in Monticello, NY. A farmer by occupation, Gold 
enlisted with many other fine men when America entered the First World 
War. Following a period of basic training, Isidore Gold was shipped 
overseas, serving his Nation with honesty and distinction. As a member 
of Company C, 305th Infantry division of the U.S. Army, Gold repeatedly 
proved himself as a soldier. He fought nobly between June 21 and August 
18, 1918, in the Baccarat and Vesle sectors, and between August 18 and 
November 1, 1918, in the Oise Aisne and Meuse Argonne offensives. As 
his enlistment record attests, Mr. Gold's service to this Nation was of 
the highest caliber and he was honorably discharged at Camp Upton, NY 
on May 9, 1919. Thank you, Mr. Gold, for serving your Nation and we 
wish you many continued years of happiness.
