                     TRIBUTE TO KOREAN WAR VETERANS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVE R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 22, 1998

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Korean 
War veterans of New Jersey, who gathered on May 31, 1998, to designate 
Kinderkamack Road as the ``Korean War Veterans Roadway.'' This 
wonderful dedication ceremony was organized at the suggestion of Mr. 
Richard T. Bozzone, Commander of the Chorwon Chapter of the American 
Korean War Veterans of New Jersey.
  On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea, setting 
the stage for the men and women of America's armed forces to enjoin a 
crucial battle against communist expansionism. Battle by battle, 
skirmish by skirmish, America's fighting forces heroically pushed back 
the North Korean aggressors.
  The sacrifice and valor displayed by America's Korean War veterans 
should never be forgotten. And for this reason the designation of the 
``Korean War Veterans Roadway'' will serve as a daily reminder to the 
residents of northern New Jersey of the American soldiers who served, 
and those who died, in defense of liberty on the Korean peninsula.
  I want to thank Commander Bozzone and all the members of the Chorwon 
Chapter of the American Korean War Veterans for initiating this 
project. Their successful effort to name a major roadway, which runs 
through nine Bergen County towns, in honor of America's Korean War 
veterans, is a tribute that will long endure.
