                         Tuesday, June 22, 2004

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Marion Broadhead 
and her work as a member of the Sterling McClellan Post 142 of the 
American Legion Auxiliary. This organization, which is dedicated to 
humanitarian programs for veterans, young people, and the community, 
has a strong team of women working together for the betterment of 
citizens lives.
  Recently the Sterling McClellan Post 142 of Pompano Beach, Florida, 
honored Ms. Broadhead as their five-time president, and current 
chaplain with the Unit Member of the Year Award. Ms. Broadhead was 
honored at an annual Memorial Day Parade and Picnic in Pompano Beach. 
Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, along with members of the 
community and some surviving veterans, joined in this celebration.
  Ms. Broadhead has led in the effort of community service by 
volunteering weekly in South Florida. Broadhead, who is a breast cancer 
survivor, spends her days visiting North Broward Medical Center, 
Trinity Community Church, St. Lawrence Chapel, and the Veterans 
Hospital in Miami.
  Mr. Speaker, the benevolent and generous spirit that Ms. Marion 
Broadhead, in combination with the Sterling McClellan Post 142, has 
shown to the communities of South Florida is one that I would like to 
celebrate. Individuals like Ms. Broadhead help in building unified and 
strong communities in America.
