            HONORING WOODBURY ROTARY CLUB VETERANS MONUMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 2010

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Woodbury Rotary 
Club and the recent construction of the Woodbury Rotary Club Veterans 
Monument. The Veterans Monument recognizes veterans from the past, 
present, and those who will serve in the future.
  Construction of the monument would not have been possible without the 
dedicated efforts of the Club Service Committee Chair, Herb Budd, Jr. 
Mr. Budd served as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army National Guard. 
He was elected President of the rotary club in 1971 and 2005 and served 
as District Governor in 1989.
  The Woodbury Rotary Club Veterans Monument has been an ongoing 
project since 2005. The monument is a ceremonial stone fixture, 
centrally located on the Rotary Park Memorial Walkway. Veterans of the 
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and 
Army National Guard are honored for their service during both times of 
war and peace. The area around the monument will be made up of bricks 
engraved to reflect military service of individuals in the South Jersey 
community.
  This monument embodies the motto, ``Some gave all, all gave some'' by 
honoring those brave individuals who committed selfless acts for their 
country. The actions of these men and women ensured peace and freedom 
for American people. The monument pays tribute to those who have lost 
their lives in combat, those who survived, and those who will serve in 
the future.
  Madam Speaker, the Woodbury Rotary Club should be recognized for 
their time and effort spent constructing a permanent tribute to our 
veterans.
