  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, there are many individuals who are called to 
sacrifice for our country through military service.
  Sheldon S. Crammer of Conyers, Georgia answered the call and served 
our nation in time of war from 1942-1944.
  On the beaches of Normandy and in the French Theater on the European 
continent, Sheldon S. Crammer displayed valor, determination, and calm 
and was wounded in the line of duty.
  This remarkable and courageous man gave of himself, in defense of 
this Nation.
  Sheldon S. Crammer is a soldier, a warrior, a father, a grandfather, 
a son, a brother, and a friend.
  After many years, long overdue recognition of his service is being 
duly noted with the granting of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart in a 
special ceremony attended by his family, friends, and fellow veterans.
  I was pleased to proclaim May 19, 2007 as Sheldon S. Crammer Day for 
his brave service to our country.
