                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 21, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to pay tribute to the distinguished 
veterans of American Legion Post 143 in Dadeville, Alabama.
  In January, Post 143 held a special ceremony to honor twenty veterans 
of World War II and the Korean War. These senior members of Post 143, 
like all distinguished military veterans of our Nation, offered their 
service in uniform to a country and world in need. When they returned 
home, their commitment to serve others and their country remained 
strong. The Veterans honored included Donald Black, Jim Black, Joseph 
Davis, Dwight Evers, Lamar Evers, Frank Farrow, Wayne Gilbert, Marvin 
Greer, Leon Guy, Robert Huff, Herman Kitchens, Joe McKelvey, Horace 
Moran, Hugh Owen, Roy Pugh, Jimmy Sanford, Paul Valentine, and Millard 
White, all of whom have continued to serve their community proudly 
through their work with the American Legion.
  I salute all the veterans of Post 143 for their service and 
patriotism, and for proudly serving the common good throughout their 
lives.
