                     Wednesday, September 19, 2012

  Mr. BUCHANAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor, Mr. Herbert Horowitz of 
Sarasota, FL. Herb was born in Brooklyn, New York; his family moved to 
Fall River, Massachusetts. Herb entered the Army in 1941 and was 
honorable discharged in 1945. He is a World War II veteran who served 
in the European theater. After serving his country, Herb returned home 
and began a civilian life. Upon his discharge, he went into the 
manufacturing of Men's Clothing.
  Married now for seventy years to his wife, Isbelle, they raised three 
children (David, Robert & Debra). They talk proudly of their 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Herb was active in various local 
religious and community organizations. Retiring to Sarasota with his 
wife Isbelle in 1984, Herb has been active in his synagogue, Temple 
Sinai, and is now a respected elder member.
  Herb still works out at the Sarasota Family YMCA, Evalyn Sadlier 
Jones Branch. Executive Director, Ben Pinegar, has said ``Herb 
continues to be an inspiration to our senior members with his cheerful 
and positive outlook. His conscientious workout routine and his helpful 
attitude to other members is to be admired. He is also considered to be 
a mentor to some of our younger Y members. Herb helps to make our Y a 
family.''
  Herb will be ninety-five years young on November 17, 2012. I 
congratulate him and wish him many more happy birthdays. With Veteran's 
Day approaching, I thank all of our veterans, of which Herb is an 
example. I thank our veterans for not only their service to our 
country, but also for what they have contributed to their communities.
