                        HONORING WARREN G. GOSS

  (Mr. ROTHFUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize U.S. Army Private First 
Class Warren Goss.
  A western Pennsylvania native, Warren answered the call to defend his 
country and joined the U.S. Army in July of 1943 at the age of 18. He 
was deployed to the European theater where he underwent training for 
the D-day invasions as a rifleman.
  Under heavy enemy fire and without air support, Warren and his fellow 
comrades were some of the first soldiers to bravely storm the beaches 
of Normandy, succeeding in their mission to secure a German 
communications tower.
  Afterward, Warren was transferred to the 70th Division's 274th K 
Company, where he continued to fight in France and across Europe until 
the end of the war.
  Upon returning home, Warren met his wife, Mary, and fathered two 
daughters, Rhonda and Paula.
  For his heroic actions to liberate France, Warren was recently made a 
Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honour, France's 
highest order of merit for military and civil merits.
  Congratulations, Warren, on receiving this distinct honor, and thank 
you for your valiant and selfless service to our Nation.
