                      Wednesday, February 1, 2012

  Mr. HANNA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor a very 
special veteran for his service to our nation during World War II.
  Mr. John S. Czyscon was a member of the United States Army and served 
in the Pacific Theater. Mr. Czyscon was in harm's way numerous times 
and involved in serious combat. His heroism and bravery were recognized 
through his awards: the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, 
and the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with three bronze battle stars 
and arrowhead attachments.
  Mr. Czyscon served as a Technician Fifth Grade, with the Second 
Battalion 188th Glider Infantry during his service to the Army. He 
joined the Army in 1943 and was honorably discharged in 1946 after 
providing honest and faithful service to this country.
  Mr. Czyscon will turn 92 this spring and he lives in New York Mills, 
New York. It is a privilege and an honor to have veterans like Mr. 
Czyscon residing in the 24th Congressional District. His service to our 
country should always be a great source of pride. To serve one's nation 
is among the most noble and selfless acts available to man, 
particularly during times of war. Thank you, Mr. Czyscon. I ask my 
colleagues to join me today in honoring Technician Fifth Grade John S. 
Czyscon, United States Army, for his service and sacrifice during World 
War II on behalf of the United States of America.
