                 TRIBUTE TO HAZEL HANON AND GRACE SIERS

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise in honor of two 
exceptional women. Hazel Hanon and Grace Siers, both of Britton, SD, 
are the last two active charter members of Marshall Post No. 3507 
Ladies Auxiliary in Britton for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Lady 
Auxiliary.
  Hazel, now 87 years old, joined for her husband and brother who both 
served during World War II in the U.S. Navy and Air Force respectively.
  Grace, now 90 years old, has many family members who served in the 
military. Her husband served in World War I, and her three brothers in 
World War II. She has also had five sons, a grandson, and a 
granddaughter serve our country.
  Hazel and Grace have devoted their time and energy to the group by 
holding banquets, selling poppies, and even compiling a dessert 
cookbook. It is a privilege for me to honor them today for their past 
dedication and their continuing support of our veterans of foreign 
wars.
