            VETERAN MAJOR MAURICE DINNERMAN RECEIVES HONORS

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I pay tribute 
to Major Maurice Dinnerman for his service in the United States Armed 
Forces. The Major's bravery and dedication to this country are examples 
of his exemplary character and worthiness for recognition.
  For his outstanding service in the Army, from January 10, 1942 until 
February 4, 1946, Major Dinnerman will be receiving the Asiatic-Pacific 
Campaign Medal with one bronze star, World War II Victory Medal, 
Philippine Liberation Ribbon, and Honorable Service Lapel Button. It is 
doubtless that without the efforts of men like Major Dinnerman 
Americans would be living a vastly different life. The dedication and 
heroism displayed is a small indication of the character of this man. 
We, as a nation, are indebted to Major Dinnerman. We enjoy many 
freedoms and an enriching life because of the sacrifices he made. It is 
seldom that we take the time to honor these forgotten heroes. America 
is what it is today because of the bravery of this man.

  It is my distinct honor and privilege to thank and commend Major 
Maurice Dinnerman on his many accomplishments in serving the U.S. 
Army.
