                       Tuesday, November 16, 2004

  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 10th 
anniversary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10218. For the past 
decade my district has been fortunate to be home to these veterans who 
served in World War II, Desert Storm and conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, 
Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq.
  The service of these veterans did not end with their tour of duty. 
V.F.W. Post 10218 continues to serve our community in El Monte and 
South El Monte. Under the leadership of their commander, Mr. Michael 
Felix, a decorated former Army Sergeant who served in Vietnam, I expect 
the V.F.W. Post 10218 will continue to be a great asset to our 
community.
  I wish to offer the V.F.W. Post 10218 my sincerest congratulations on 
their 10th anniversary. This country and the community are deeply 
indebted to them for the service they have performed both at home and 
abroad.
