RECOGNIZING THE MILITARY FAMILIES OF NEW JERSEY'S EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL 
                                DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BILL PASCRELL, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 21, 2008

  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I would like to call to your attention 
the great Military Families of one of the great communities in New 
Jersey's Eighth Congressional District, the Township of Livingston in 
the County of Essex. These families, with the help and support of 
various veterans and civic groups throughout Livingston, strive to 
support their loved ones as they serve their Nation many miles from 
home.
  It is only fitting that these patriotic citizens and their courageous 
family members be honored in this, the permanent record of the greatest 
democracy ever known, for their efforts in support of the brave 
servicemen and women who are fighting every day to help ensure that 
people everywhere have the right to live in peace and safety.
  Livingston has a long and glorious history among the towns of New 
Jersey, and its residents have always been willing to do whatever was 
needed to defend American ideals. Their families have led the way in 
supporting their efforts, keeping the home fires burning, sending care 
packages as well as their prayers. At this time there are over twenty-
five families whose loved ones currently serve our Nation in all 
branches of the military. I would especially like to commend the 
families of the following:
  Nicholas Albicocco, Aaron Attermann, Jeffrey Cushman, Louis Del Tufo, 
Daniel Devlin, Michael Goldfarb, John Rey Julian, Daniel Oliva, Eric 
Powell, Lee Tam, Robert Tilley, Mikel Weich, Adam Winter, Charles 
Garbarino.
  Brian Asman, Christopher Courter, Shea Datz, Joshua Denton, Jonah 
Eisenstark, Ryan Healy, John D. Kramer, Scott Perry, Steve Roman, Grant 
Thompson, John Tomcyzk, Scott Wild, and Michael Wishnia.
  The job of a United States Congressman involves much that is 
rewarding, yet nothing compares to learning about and recognizing 
outstanding citizens such as these who are making the greatest of 
sacrifices for the sake of our Nation.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues, the citizens of 
the Township of Livingston, and me in recognizing the outstanding 
contributions of these families to the United States of America.
