  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, Colonel William Simmons, a trusted friend of General George 
Washington, proved himself on the field of battle on numerous 
occasions; and
  Whereas, for his more than 40 years of service, Colonel Simmons was 
given 4,297 acres of land in Southeastern Ohio; and
  Whereas, Colonel Simmons laid out the plots of land in 1820 which 
were to become the town of Warsaw; and
  Whereas, Warsaw was named after the capital of Poland, a country then 
attempting to achieve its own independence; and
  Whereas, the official town charter dates back to June 3, 1834; now, 
therefore, be it
  Resolved, that along with friends, family, and the residents of 
Warsaw, as well as the entire 18th Congressional District, I 
congratulate the town of Warsaw on their 175th Anniversary. The town of 
Warsaw has been and will continue to be a shining example for those who 
are willing to fight for their freedom and liberty.
