                         Tuesday, April 4, 1995
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the past 
commanders and auxiliary presidents of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 
Post 2151. On April 8, 1995, V.F.W. Post 2151 will hold a commemorative 
dinner at their Post in Gary, IN, to honor their past officers.
  The past commanders of V.F.W. Post 2151 include: Harold James, Otha 
Williams, Dan L. Williams, Joe Dishmon, Bob Wilson, Jesse Rogers, Bill 
Woodard, William Rapier, Lee G. Coleman, and Virgil Fields.
  The past auxiliary presidents for V.F.W. Post 2151 include: Bertha 
Harvey, Dorothy Jordan, Bessie Jones, Prestine Fontleroy, Ada Williams, 
Jennie Young, Mary Clay, Elouise Woodard, Jessie M. Shackelford, Doris 
Daniels, Mary Pendelton, Mattie Gault, Lula Marshall, Doris Daniels, 
Verlee Perry, and Vanessa Jenkins.
  These former commanders and auxiliary presidents have been dedicated 
to preserving the memory of the service of the U.S. soldiers to defend 
our country in foreign wars. Because of the V.F.W.'s efforts in the 
preservation of the history of the United States and foreign affairs 
policy, our citizens can learn from past experience in hopes for a 
better world.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my other colleagues to join me in 
commemorating these honorable men and women of V.F.W. Post 2151 for 
their dedicated service to our great country.
