                          Tuesday, May 6, 2014

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor eight Pennsylvania 
veterans of the Second World War who fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
   These brave and heroic gentlemen are members of the Delaware County 
#288 and General Smedley D. Butler #741 Marine Corps League 
Detachments. Although many of their brothers in arms died in the midst 
of battle or in the years since, these Marines and Sailors continue to 
carry the legacy of their brothers' sacrifices for the security of our 
nation and defense of freedom for all of us in this world.
   Let us forever remember and be grateful for the sacrifice of these 
heroes of the Second World War. Please join me in recognizing the 
following gentlemen for their service to our country: Louis Camilli, 
Jack Depew, Cliff Doud, George Edelmann, Joseph Hinderhofer, Alan 
McCauley, Walter Tallamage and Donald Walz.

                          ____________________
