  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today with great pride to 
commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Buffalo Post of the Jewish War 
Veterans.
  Comprised of members of the Jewish faith who have served in the Wars 
of the United States of America, the Buffalo Post began meeting in 
1929. Over the past 80 years, membership in the post has grown to more 
to more than 120 active participants
  The Jewish War Veterans have a proud tradition of patriotism and 
service to our country and to the Jewish community in the United States 
and abroad.
  The Jewish War Veterans advocate for those who have fought our 
nation's battles to ensure that they receive the treatment and the 
respect they deserve from our grateful nation. Through their constant 
support of the state of Israel, fighting anti-Semitism around the 
world, and participating in civic betterment projects, the Jewish War 
Veterans Buffalo Post are having a strong positive impact and I thank 
them for their dedicated efforts.
  Madam Speaker, in recognition of 80 years of proud service to our 
grateful nation, I ask that this Honorable Body join me in honoring the 
Buffalo Post of the Jewish War Veterans.
