           HONORING THE WOODBURY ROTARY PARK MEMORIAL WALKWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2012

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Woodbury Rotary 
Park's Memorial Walkway in Woodbury, NJ. This memorial is a special 
tribute to the unsung heroes who assisted the American war effort in 
both times of war and peace.
  Construction of the walkway would not have been possible without the 
extraordinary efforts of The Rotary Club's Herbert A. Budd, Jr. A 
member since 1959 and two-time president of the organization, Mr. Budd 
raised $20,000 for the memorial's creation. Mr. Budd's hard work was 
aided by the contributions of those in the community whom I proudly 
recognize as playing a critical role in the memorial's construction.
  This memorial, featuring an engraved recognition of all who served, 
reminds us all that ``Some gave all, all gave some.'' This monument 
serves to honor those who worked behind the scenes to give us a strong 
foundation upon which our forces relied.
  Mr. Speaker, the Rotary Club, particularly Mr. Budd, and the 
surrounding community should be applauded for their efforts and 
commitment in building this memorial. This memorial represents the 
crucial role of the American people who have gone unannounced in 
serving America's forces. I encourage all of my constituents to visit 
this memorial and peacefully reflect upon such invaluable service.
