                           MONROE ROTARY CLUB

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, today I am proud to recognize the 
members of the Monroe, LA, Rotary Club who have served our country 
honorably during war.
  I would like to thank Kent Anderson, Edward Cascio, Tom Dansby, Kitty 
Degree, Donnie Franklin, George Hutchison, John Morris, Walt Pierron, 
and Barney Tucker for their courageous military service during wartime 
and for continued civic service in the greater Monroe area.
  With the motto ``Service Above Self'' it is no surprise that these 
men would be inclined to be a member of Rotary. Their lifetime of 
service is exhibited not only in service to their fellow citizens 
during a time of war but also in continued commitment to their 
community.
  Rotary's four-way test asks four questions of all things members 
think, say, and do. These questions are: Is it the truth? Is it fair to 
all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it 
be beneficial to all concerned? These four simple questions have proven 
to be excellent guidelines for a life of service. We thank these men 
for serving the Monroe community with these principles. The Monroe 
Rotary Club has sponsored many local projects, including Boy Scouts, 
Girl Scouts, youth baseball, the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana, and 
the Salvation Army, to name just a few.
  Thus, today, I honor these veterans for their distinguished service 
in the U.S. armed services during wartime, and for their continued 
service to the State of Louisiana in the Monroe Rotary Club.
