                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 14, 2006

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me today in recognizing Sandy Germany the National President of the 
Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary. The Curtis-Wolverton Post 
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3243 Ladies Auxiliary is welcoming Mrs. 
Germany to their facility on February 22 in Fenton, Michigan. This is 
an official visit to the State of Michigan by Mrs. Germany.
  Sandy Germany was elected to her position at the 92nd National 
Convention of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in 
August 2005. Reflecting the beliefs of the Ladies Auxiliary she 
underscored the need to remember the sacrifices of the men and women 
that have fought to preserve our freedom. This belief is an 
underpinning of the Ladies Auxiliary as they work to preserve the 
memory of our courageous Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.
  Sandy Germany is a life member of the Kichler-Pippen Auxiliary Post 
5658. She is eligible to be a member through her brother, her father 
and her son. Her son, Curtis, is currently serving with the U.S. Army 
in Korea and Iraq. She has served in many positions with the Ladies 
Auxiliary in addition to being employed as the Town Clerk in Elberta, 
Alabama. She is a mother and grandmother, giving of her time, as a Life 
Member, to the VFW National Home for Children. Sandy also belongs to 
the American Legion Auxiliary and the Military Order of the Cooties 
Auxiliary.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
recognizing the life and service of Sandy Germany. I commend her for 
her commitment to helping our service personnel and for working to 
preserve the ideals that set our Nation apart from all others.
