            VETERAN JOSEPH EDWARD SCHULLERY RECEIVES HONORS

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I honor Staff 
Sergeant Joseph Edward Schullery for his bravery and sacrifice of his 
own life in the Pacific Theater. His offering of life is more than 
anyone can ask of another human being.
  Making the ultimate sacrifice to die for his country Staff Sergeant 
Schullery is a man worthy of the greatest honor. Serving from October 
6, 1941 to July 11, 1945, Staff Sergeant Schullery's sister will be 
receiving a certificate of Service, a copy of the American Battle 
Monuments, and a list of casualties on behalf of her fallen brother.
  The outstanding conduct and character Staff Sergeant Schullery 
displayed is recognized with a Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, 
American Defense Service Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with one 
bronze service star, World War II Victory Medal, and Honorable Service 
Lapel Button. There is no doubt in my mind that Americans would be 
living a vastly different life had it not been for men like Staff 
Sergeant Schullery. The nation honors and thanks this man for making a 
positive impact on the lives of so many Americans. It is doubtless that 
the suffering he endured was purely for our gain.
  It is my honor to have the privilege to commend and thank Staff 
Sergeant Joseph Schullery for his outstanding sacrifice on behalf of 
all Americans.
