                                 ______
                                 

                         CAPTAIN PENN HOLSAPPLE

 Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, I rise today in recognition of 
Captain Penn Holsapple's 90th birthday. Captain Holsapple served in the 
United States Marine Corps during the Second World War and was one of 
the first Marines to land on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima. Every 
American knows of the enormous sacrifices thousands of young Marines 
made on that island to defend our Nation, and Captain Holsapple himself 
was wounded in action twice. However, always living up to the Marine 
Corps motto ``first to enter, last to leave,'' Captain Holsapple 
remained on Iwo Jima with his fellow Marines to the very end. I ask all 
of my colleagues to join me in wishing Captain Penn Holsapple a happy 
90th birthday and to thank him for the service and sacrifice he gave to 
his country. Happy Birthday good friend.
