                         Tuesday, June 2, 2009

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the dedication and opening of the new headquarters for 
Monument Bank in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  This day 141 years ago marks the anniversary of the official 
dedication of the Doylestown Monument. The Doylestown landmark 
commemorates the officers and men of the 104th Pennsylvania Regiment 
who fell in the Civil War, and serves as the namesake for Monument 
Bank.
  The founding members and shareholders of the new Monument Bank have a 
proven history of successful local banking. They have provided some of 
the most outstanding professional banking services in our area, 
recognizing the importance of local community relationships and 
support. Their service and community leadership will undoubtedly be an 
important asset to Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
  I applaud Monument Bank for moving forward in these trying economic 
times to provide valuable banking services to our community. Madam 
Speaker, I proudly recognize Monument Bank and I extend my 
congratulations on the dedication of their headquarters today.
