  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Private First Class Ralph O. Frang, United States Army, for his service 
to our country.
   Private First Class Frang served in the United States Army from 1943 
to 1945, serving in Normandy, Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe 
during World War II. Private First Class Frang's military awards and 
decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart Medal, the 
World War II Victory Medal, the European-African-Middle Eastern 
Campaign Medal with 4 bronze battle stars and the Bronze Service 
Arrowhead, and the Good Conduct Medal.
   Private First Class Frang started his military career training with 
the 10th Mountain Division in Colorado before transferring to the 101st 
Airborne Division as a paratrooper where he participated in the D-Day 
landing at Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944.
   Private First Class Frang's courageous service has charted the path 
for future generations of men and women to serve in the military. I 
extend my deepest appreciation to Private Frang for his dedication, 
integrity and outstanding service to the United States of America.
