                     Wednesday, September 13, 2006

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate my 
friend Anthony Stagliano's 50th year in America. Fifty years ago a 9-
year-old Anthony said goodbye to his father in Naples, Italy and 
boarded a ship to the United States of America. Little Anthony came to 
America seeking a land of opportunity and found it in Philadelphia. 
Anthony quickly mastered the English language and went on to graduate 
from Bok Vocational High School.
  Anthony is a devoted family man married to his beloved American 
beauty Joanne. They have been fortunate to be blessed with four 
children--Maria, Angela, Gina, and Anthony, Jr. who have each graduated 
from college.
  Anthony Stagliano served his country in the United States Army from 
1961-1963. He also took an interest in civic affairs, having served as 
a committee person for over 30 years. He was an exemplar Temple 
University Corrections officer, Philadelphia Housing Authority officer, 
and was on the Court tipstaff. He is currently serving the Philadelphia 
City Council as the Sergeant-at-Arms.
  It is an honor to recognize a person who exemplifies the positive 
impact immigrants can have on the United States. Anthony's service to 
the City of Philadelphia, military service, and wonderful family are to 
be praised. I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to join me 
in commending Anthony Stagliano for his 50 years of contribution to our 
country.
