                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 8, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Ladies 
Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States on its 
101st year of service. The organization honors military service and 
ensures that the history of America's veterans is preserved for future 
generations. Rallied behind National President Ann Pantekeakos's theme 
``Patriotism Begins at Home,'' 500,000 members across the country, 
including those from the seven auxiliaries in my home district, work to 
maintain veterans' memorials, share veterans' history with the 
community, volunteer at veterans' hospitals, and provide scholarships 
to students recognizing patriotism through art and volunteerism. I 
congratulate the Ladies Auxiliary on its outstanding work and wish its 
members continued success as they serve our veterans and their 
families.
