                        HONORING TONY CARNEMOLLA

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring the life of Tony Carnemolla, who recently passed away at age 
74.
  Tony made a difference in the lives of countless residents of our 
community. His active involvement as commander of VFW Post 75 in 
Danville and civic organizations like the Exchange Club serves as a 
lasting example for the residents of Danville and the San Ramon Valley.

  At age 17, Tony Carnemolla joined the Army to serve our great Nation 
during the Korean War. Later, he became a tireless volunteer and 
advocate for his fellow veterans. He spearheaded the effort to renovate 
the Veterans Memorial Building in Danville and volunteered at countless 
local events to benefit veterans.
  Tony was a warm and respected leader and a dear friend. He will be 
missed. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the memory of Tony 
Carnemolla and in sending our thoughts and prayers to his beloved 
family and friends.
