                         Monday, March 4, 2013

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of 
Edward H. Lockwood, an American veteran from Long Island. Edward 
recently passed away and our community is mourning this profound loss.
  Corporal Lockwood enlisted in the Army in 1942, and remained for the 
duration of World War II. He served in the 824th and 691st Tank 
Destroyer Units at Normandy, the Rhineland, Central Europe, and finally 
Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge. Upon returning home to Glenwood 
Landing, Corporal Lockwood joined the American Legion Post 336 in Glen 
Head, New York, and worked for the Long Island Lighting Company until 
his retirement.
  Mr. Lockwood joined the Glenwood Fire Company when he turned 18 and 
his only interval in service was substituted by his time in the Army. 
He served as Chief twice before being named Chief Emeritus, joining a 
privileged few who have been Glenwood Fire Company Chief three times.
  Corporal Lockwood leaves behind three daughters and will be sorely 
missed by the Glenwood Landing community of which he was a part of for 
almost 92 years.
  Edward was a true American patriot. In the wake of his passing, we 
should all remember the sacrifice our veterans make to keep us safe 
here at home. I am forever grateful for Edward's contributions as a 
serviceman and leader in his community on Long Island. I offer my 
sincerest thoughts and prayers to his family.
