                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 4, 2015

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize a 
long-time friend and a resident of my home town of Levittown, Joe 
Hogan. Joe was named to be the grand marshal of the 2015 Bucks County 
St. Patrick's Day Parade because of his lifetime of service to the 
veteran's community. I have known Joe for many years and over that time 
he has exemplified how a committed community servant should live his 
life. A combat wounded Marine, Joe has served as a post-commander for 
his local VFW, member of the Disabled American Veterans and presently 
serves as the president of the Guardians of the National Cemetery, an 
all-volunteer support organization for the Washington Crossing National 
Cemetery. Joe has also served as an adult leader for Boy Scout Troop 
123 and has remained active with coaching youth sports including his 
grandson's baseball team for the last three decades. I am fortunate to 
call him my friend and I look forward to seeing many more years of his 
involvement in our community.
