                   AMERICAN SOLDIERS MISSING IN KOREA

                                 ______


                          HON. GARY A. FRANKS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. FRANKS of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, at the last Veterans Day 
ceremony on the Waterbury, CT, Town Green, I was able to witness the 
dedication of a plaque remembering three men from Waterbury who are 
missing in action from the Korean war. These three soldiers are Army 
Sgt. Victor J. Choiniere, missing since November 1950, Army Cpl. Dennis 
Rush, missing since November 1950, and Army Cpl. Donald Humiston, 
missing since July 1952. These three soldiers went to Korea for a 
common and heroic cause: the protection of democracy and freedom from 
the oppression of communism.
  Much of this century has been a battle to defend the ideals 
exemplified by the United States. Citizens of Waterbury have 
contributed to this fight. With the plaque on the Waterbury Green, the 
people of Waterbury will never forget the sacrifices that soldiers and 
their families made for the freedoms we enjoy. We hope that one day we 
will be able to account for the fates of Mr. Choinere, Mr. Rush, and 
Mr. Humiston, and we pray that the peace that has been so elusive this 
century will soon reign in our Nation and the world.
