                       HONORING S. JEROME FELDMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 3, 2017

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great 
Pennsylvanian, Mr. S. Jerome Feldman. A well-respected and greatly 
admired member of our community, Mr. Feldman is celebrating his 85th 
birthday today, February 3rd.
  I have known Jerome and his wife Helene for many years and have 
always found them to be extraordinarily kind-hearted and wholly 
selfless people. His lifetime of charitable work and his dedication to 
peace and our national security is without peer. Jerome served our 
country with honor as a member of the United States Navy during the 
Korean War. Well-liked among his peers in the Navy, his bravery and 
commitment earned him the respect of everyone who served with him as 
well as the undying gratitude of our nation.
  Mr. Feldman continues his advocacy for peace and security through his 
support of our closest ally, the State of Israel. He is also an active 
member of Philadelphia's Jewish community, one of our nation's oldest 
and most vibrant Jewish communities.
  More than anything, Jerome is a family man, a neighbor and a friend 
to many, including me. He is the sort of man that Pennsylvania is proud 
to call a native son, and I am equally proud to call Jerome a friend.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in honoring S. Jerome Feldman on the occasion of his 85th 
birthday on February 3rd of this year.
