                       IN HONOR OF GEORGE BONNER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 2005

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor George Bonner for 
his commitment to serving his community and his country. Mr. Bonner was 
honored at the annual brunch for the Bayonne St. Patrick's Parade 
Committee, which was held on February 20, 2005.
  In 1999, Mr. Bonner began his service with the United States Army 
Reserve. As a Sergeant, he bravely served for a year in Iraq and 
Kuwait. For his efforts, Mr. Bonner was honored with two Army 
Commendation Medals. He was awarded one medal for his training efforts 
while under attack and the other for his humanitarian aid.
  Mr. Bonner graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in history 
and social studies. A member of the Bayonne County Donegal Association, 
he will be working at the parade as an assistant to the Grand Marshall.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring George Bonner for 
his community involvement and his brave service to our country.
