                        Wednesday, June 24, 2015

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. Frank Kogut, a 
100-year-old veteran of World War II, who served in the Army from 1941 
to 1946.
  As the Representative of a district home to veterans of every major 
conflict since World War II, I know very well the sacrifices that our 
veterans, military men and women, and their families have made for our 
country. I speak for our district and the Nation when I sincerely thank 
Mr. Kogut for his service to our country. Mr. Kogut, who held the rank 
of First Lieutenant, captured a German Admiral and fought in the 746th 
Tank Battalion on D-Day.
  Mr. Kogut's courage and resolve reflect the dedication of a 
generation of men and women who served during one of history's darkest 
periods. His patriotism is truly admirable and exhibits a level of 
dedication and self-sacrifice worthy of recognition. It is with great 
pleasure and gratitude that I honor Frank Kogut.
