   THE CONROY-RENYE-MCNEIL VFW POST 4422: 50 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE 
                        COMMUNITY OF TAYLOR, MI

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, on Saturday, September 23, 1995, the 
Conroy-Renye-McNeil VFW Post 4422 in Taylor, MI is holding a special 
banquet commemorating 50 years of service to the community of Taylor, 
MI.
  VFW Post 4422 was chartered on September 15, 1945 and was named in 
honor of Army Pvt. Robert Francis Conroy, Marine Buckley Renye and Navy 
Seaman Robert McNeil. Messrs. Conroy, Renye, and McNeil were the first 
citizens from Taylor, MI, to lose their lives while bravely serving the 
United States in World War II.
  In honor of these three brave gentlemen from Taylor, MI, and in honor 
of all of the fine American men and women who served our country in 
times of war, the members of VFW Post 4422 have dedicated their efforts 
and resources for the last 50 years to provide community service 
projects for the Taylor community.
  The community service projects that the members of VFW Post 4422 are 
involved in include: Youth programs, drug awareness programs, 
Americanism education, programs for senior citizens, programs for needy 
families and programs for veterans, their families, widows and orphans. 
The members of post 4422 are also especially proud of their efforts in 
1983 when the Post collected and sent 1,500 Christmas gifts to our 
troops in Beirut.
  Mr. President, the members of VFW Post 4422 have not only proudly 
served our country in military service, but they have continued to 
serve our country through their commitment to their community. The 
members of the Conroy-Renye-McNeil VFW Post 4422 deserve the Senate's 
congratulations as they mark their 50th year of service to the 
community of Taylor, MI. They also deserve our appreciation and 
gratitude for all of the good deeds that they have done and continue to 
do.
