                                 ______


                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. ANDREWS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise on this occasion to 
extend my congratulations to the Maple Shade VFW Post 2445 on their 
50th anniversary.
  Founded on October 17, 1944, VFW 2445 has grown into an organization 
serving the needs of veterans in the Maple Shade community who have 
served and protected American ideology, interests and security against 
hostile forces in foreign lands. Throughout its history, the post has 
organized numerous parades and organized rallies in honor of the men 
and women of the community that gave their lives to uphold the ideals 
of America. The members of the post have also helped each other cope 
during times of need by providing a haven for their members and 
families to turn to when having difficulty dealing with veterans issues 
or in their personal life.
  I commend the men and women of the Maple Shade VFW and hope that they 
will continue to prosper as they support all of America's armed 
services.
