                        Wednesday, June 8, 2005

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the volunteers of the 
USS New Jersey, which is located in my district in Camden, New Jersey. 
The ship has been open to the public since 2000 and is our Nation's 
most decorated battleship, having heroically served in three major 
conflicts: World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
  The volunteers of the USS New Jersey are responsible for many things 
on the ship, including restoration and maintenance, giving tours, 
clerical work, and educating the community about the ship and its 
history. Volunteers work 7 days a week, rain or shine, and have logged 
over 300,000 hours of volunteer time. In 2000, they won the Governor's 
Volunteerism Award for their extraordinary work.
  Below are the names of the dedicated volunteers of the USS New 
Jersey:
