      ST. CLAIR SHORES AMVETS POST 121 CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise to recognize the St. Clair 
Shores, Michigan, AMVETS Post 121 upon the celebration of its 50th 
anniversary taking place this February 24th.
  For the past 50 years the post has strived to make a home for many 
American service men and women, while in service and after they 
received an honorable discharge. The post has been involved in the St. 
Clair Shores Memorial festivities, and has provided community service 
and child welfare for both veterans and non-veterans yearly by giving 
college scholarships, baskets of food during Christmas time, and food 
and clothing donations to local children's facilities.
  I applaud AMVETS Post 121 for its committed remembrance of the men 
and women who have served our country in the Armed Forces. Their 
dedication and hard work for veterans and non-veterans alike should 
serve a model for other veteran organizations around the country. It is 
an honor today, on behalf of the U.S. Senate, to recognize AMVETS Post 
121 on its 50th annviersary.
