             TRIBUTE TO THE CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS OF THE USA

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it gives my great pleasure to rise today 
and pay tribute to an outstanding veterans organization. This year the 
Department of Ohio, Catholic War 
[[Page E911]] Veterans of the USA will hold their 50th anniversary 
convention May 5-7, in Sandusky, OH.
  The city of Sandusky is a community renowned for its civic pride and 
commitment to service. It is an appropriate host to this most special 
of guests, the Catholic War Veterans. As a veteran myself, I am aware 
of the exemplary service rendered by groups such as the CWV. Throughout 
its history there has never been a lack of enthusiasm or volunteer 
labor for its many projects.
  Several years ago, I was honored to be chosen Outstanding Legislator 
of the Year by the Department of Ohio, Catholic War Veterans. It is one 
of the most cherished honors I have received in my years of public 
service.
  Anniversaries are a time to reflect upon past accomplishments. They 
are also a time to look toward new horizons. The Catholic War Veterans 
have made it their responsibility to serve those in need by keeping 
pace with the ever increasing challenges facing mankind.
  It is obvious that the people of Ohio and our Nation as a whole have 
greatly benefited from the effort that was started in 1945. I ask my 
colleagues to join me today in recognizing the achievements of the 
Department of Ohio, Catholic War Veterans and encourage them to 
continue to build upon their proud tradition of service in Ohio.
