  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, in grateful acknowledgement of his 
service to our country in World War II, I note the passing of Henry 
A.J. Apice, of Southampton, Bucks County. A proud member of the United 
States Marine Corps during World War II, Mr. Apice joined the National 
Guard in 1938. Later, while serving as a Marine he saw action in the 
South Pacific and was a survivor of the battle for Iwo Jima. In the 
post-war years, he continued his activities with various veterans' 
organizations and was a life member of the Order of Devil Dogs. Most 
recently, he was a member and Guardian of the Washington Crossing 
National Cemetery, where he will be buried with full military honors. 
He is survived by his wife, Marjorie, his children, grandchildren, 
great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, along with six 
siblings. Mr. Apice will be remembered for his devotion to his family 
and country and now joins the proud line of veterans from all our 
nation's wars who, throughout history, have been the guardians of our 
liberty.
