                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 26, 1999

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to congratulate 
the American Legion Post 86 Color Guard for their victory at the 
National Senior Color Guard Competition (Closed Military Class) at the 
American Legion National Convention in Anaheim, California.
  The Post 86 Color Guard was formed in 1981 to promote Americanism and 
patriotism. Augmented by members of the Auxiliary and Sons of the 
Legion, the Post 86 Color Guard quickly proved itself within the state 
of Maryland. For the past seven years, they have been the Department of 
Maryland (American Legion) state champion. The Post 86 Color Guard will 
now proudly serve as the National American Legion Color Guard for 1999-
2000.
  For their service to the American Legion, the community, our 
veterans, and our country, I ask my colleague to join me in 
congratulating the Henderson-Smith-Edmonds Post 86 Color Guard of 
Rockville, Maryland.
