   JEWISH WAR VETERANS, NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT CELEBRATES CENTENNIAL 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 1996

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, this year, 1996, the Jewish War Veterans of 
the United States of America is celebrating its 100th anniversary. As 
part of these nationwide commemorations, the Jewish War Veterans 
Department of New Jersey is having a military ball at the Officers 
Club, Gibbs Hall, Fort Monmouth, on Thursday, April 25.
  The Centennial Journal being issued by the New Jersey Department in 
conjunction with this important anniversary is dedicated to the memory 
of Stanley J. Wides, past department commander and executive director. 
Thursday's event is also an opportunity to honor past national 
commanders.
  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure for me to pay tribute to the New 
Jersey Jewish War Veterans. The Jewish War Veterans is the oldest 
active veterans organization in the country, and it is an honor to work 
on behalf of their agenda and on behalf of those men and women who 
sacrificed so much to safeguard our freedoms here at home and to make 
the world safe and free for future generations. I wish them great 
success on tomorrow evening's ball at Fort Monmouth, and I look forward 
to continued partnership with this great organization with its long, 
distinguished and proud history.
