                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                        Monday, October 3, 2011

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the death of 
United States Army veteran Mr. Norman W. Green.
  Mr. Green served in the Army during the Korean War with the 187th 
Air-borne Regimental Combat Team. He participated in the regimental 
parachute assault on Sukchon, North Korea, during the 1950 Battle of 
Pakchon. Mr. Green was later wounded and received a Purple Heart.
  Mr. Green was devoted to his local communities, first in Cleveland, 
OH, as a union painter and later in Dunkirk, NY, as a local business 
owner and entrepreneur.
  Mr. Green was also a family man. He leaves behind a widow, Mrs. Ruth 
Gestwicki Green, two children, a daughter Nancy and a son Norman. Also 
surviving are three grandchildren.
  It is with great pride that I rise today to remember Mr. Norman W. 
Green, a veteran of our Nation's armed forces and a proud member of 
this wonderful community.
