           TRIBUTE TO ANCIENT AND HONORABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY

                                 ______


                        HON. JOHN JOSEPH MOAKLEY

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 1994

  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to send warm 
greetings and well deserved congratulations to all of my friends 
celebrating the 356 anniversary of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery 
Company of Massachusetts. I will always remember the fond memories I 
have of the time I have spent at Faneuil Hall with the Company.
  For over three and one half centuries members of this group have 
exemplified the spirit of patriotism that has made our country great. 
Their record has been one of activism on behalf of liberty, freedom, 
and of all of the values on which this Nation is based. The Company's 
museum is a treasure, not only because it preserves this distinguished 
record, but because it enables younger generations to learn about our 
heritage.
  I know the ancients will continue the tradition of the Company in 
providing leadership in all areas of our community and especially in 
public service. Public service is, after all, what drives the Ancient 
and Honorable Artillery Company and I feel proud of the contributions 
they make to the Commonwealth.
  I ask the Company to please accept my best wishes for another 
successful year. I know there will be many more to come.
