                 TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN LEGION POST NO. 96

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the officers of 
the Cicero Post of the American Legion. The post and auxiliary officers 
were installed in a ceremony on August 27, 1994. The installation was 
dedicated to the memory of Harold L. Oehlerking, a Silver Star 
recipient in World War II.
  American Legion Post No. 96 has been dedicated in its service to the 
community for many years. The American Legion Auxiliary Creed states 
that members have the responsibility of teaching and speaking 
Americanism wherever and whenever possible. By bringing recognition to 
veterans and remembering past conflicts, Post 96 has fulfilled its duty 
of teaching American citizens to respect the history which has earned 
our precious freedom.
  I ask my colleagues to join me as I salute Post 96 as they install 
their new officers. We are greatly indebted to them for their 
contribution to our community and the Nation.
  Below is a list of each of the officers and chairmen of the post and 
auxiliary. I hope my colleagues will join me in saluting the Cicero 
American Legion Post and wishing them the best in the years to come.


                         Post Officers 1993-94
