                      Thursday, November 19, 2015

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to John Cook, a Marine 
from Delaware County, Pennsylvania. John joined the Corps fresh out of 
high school, and served under Col. Lewis ``Chesty'' Puller. John landed 
with the Marines at Incheon and served in ``Massacre Valley'' during 
Operation Killer in February 1951. He was discharged in 1952 as a 
Sergeant, having served his country with honor and distinction. John 
will be honored with the Freedom Medal tonight at the Delaware County 
Veterans Memorial Association Annual Dinner. It's a fitting honor for a 
man who served his country ably in Korea.
