                       Friday, December 23, 2016

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
public service of Linda Colon, National President of the Jewish War 
Veterans Auxiliary, and her upcoming visit to the organization's 
chapter in my home state of Florida.
  Linda has spent her career dedicated to improving the lives of our 
nation's hospitalized veterans. She served at the VA Hospital and the 
Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, and where she boosted morale among 
patients and their families. For her admirable efforts, she has been 
the recipient of numerous awards from U.S. presidents, admirals, and 
naval hospital commanders.
  In honor of her service with one of the oldest veterans' 
organizations in the country, I am pleased to recognize Linda Colon and 
welcome her to Florida.
