      PAYING TRIBUTE TO PATTY, DANNIE AND GREG ``GREASER'' BASHAW

                                 ______

                         Wednesday, May 3, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Patty, Danny and Greg 
``Greaser'' Bashaw for their continued support of the Marine Corps 
Junior ROTC program of Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada.
  The Bashaw family has long been supporters of Basic High School's 
Marine Corp Junior ROTC program. Several years ago, Patty and Greg 
became involved in the Junior ROTC program through their son, Danny, 
who was then enrolled. To assist in the fund raising efforts of the 
program, Patty and Greg had the ingenious idea of starting a car show, 
an idea that proved to be very successful. Their personal belief in the 
goals and objectives of the

program and their son, Danny, joining the Army reserve after high 
school has prompted the Bashaw family to continue supporting the 
program in such an outstanding fashion.
  The Bashaw family has a distinguished record of service to their 
country and community. Their dedication to their country is most 
evident by the fact that Greg served in the Vietnam War and 
subsequently became an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 
Post #3848. Their son, Danny, is currently keeping America safe by 
serving in Iraq.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Patty, Danny and Greg ``Greaser'' 
Bashaw for their efforts on behalf of the Basic High School Marine 
Junior ROTC program and their dedication to country and community. The 
Bashaws are truly great Americans who epitomize civic pride in their 
country and a willingness to give themselves to furthering the ideas of 
our founding fathers by volunteering to help others.
