               AMERICAN LEGION POST 51 OF EAST POINT, GA

  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize in the Record 
American Legion Post 51 of East Point, GA, for its unselfish efforts on 
behalf of our brave soldiers serving in Iraq. The Post 51 family has 
adopted Charlie Company 324th Signal Battalion from East Point, GA. 
This Reserve unit made up of 144 service men and women is in the 
process of deploying in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  The post held a barbeque for the soldiers' families, planned a 
Christmas party for the soldiers, and Post 51 members attended the 
deployment ceremony for nine members of Charlie Company. Post 51 has 
also dedicated countless hours supporting the families of deployed 
members by helping with home repairs and offering financial advice.
  Mr. President, I am very proud of our troops serving in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, and I am equally proud of organizations such as American 
Legion Post 51 for all it is doing to support our soldiers and their 
families here at home.
