  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure 
that I rise to celebrate the contributions that Mr. Arnold D. Anderson, 
of Ontario, California, has made to his community.
  Over the last 62 years, Mr. Anderson has dedicated much of his time 
to the needs of Ontario. He has served as president of numerous civic 
organizations, including the Ontario Host Lion's Club, the Ontario 
Chamber of Commerce, and the Ontario Junior Chamber of Commerce. From 
1959 to 1963, Mr. Anderson served as a Member of the Board of Trustees 
of the Chaffey High School Trust. For the past 34 years, Mr. Anderson 
has served on the Chaffey College Trust Board.
  As a result of his extensive community service, Mr. Anderson has 
received numerous awards and honors. In the 1940's, he received several 
awards from the U.S. Department of Treasury and the U.S. Department of 
War for selling war bonds. His contributions have been commended by his 
Lion's Club, the California Department of Corrections, the West End 
YMCA, members of the California State Legislature, the San Bernardino 
County Board of Supervisors, and the City of Ontario.
  Although recently confined to a wheelchair, Mr. Anderson has 
continued to make valuable contributions to those in need, placing his 
needs second to those of others. It is with great honor that I join the 
community of Ontario as the Ontario Host Lion's Club celebrates Mr. 
Anderson's 62 years of perfect attendance with an Honorary Lifetime 
Membership.
  By constantly striving to improve his community, Mr. Anderson has 
become a true American hero, worthy of our praise and gratitude.
