  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jay Howe for his many years of service to the American 
Legion and to his country. Jay was recently honored for being a 50-year 
member with the American Legion.
  The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 
1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual 
helpfulness. The organization is committed to mentoring youth and 
sponsorship of wholesome programs in communities, advocating patriotism 
and honor and continued devotion to their fellow service members and 
veterans.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Jay for his service to our country's veterans 
and his dedication to his community. It is an honor to represent him in 
the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives join me in commending Jay for his service and in 
wishing him nothing but continued success.
