            HONORING THE PENNSVILLE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, the Pennsville Veterans of Foreign Wars 
dedicate their time and their attention to their community through 
multiple acts of service.
  Comprised of veterans and those active in the military, the 
Pennsville VFW doesn't just talk about how they help others, but they 
actively engage in service projects that better the lives of their 
community.
  When local EMTs needed a battery-operated stretcher, the Pennsville 
VFW provided it; when the Pennsville Police Department needed 
bulletproof vests, they provided them as well; and when a disabled 
veteran needed a ramp to get into his home, they also provided that.
  In addition to these specific acts of service, the members of the VFW 
have offered annual events to bring their community together as a 
whole. Every year, the Pennsville VFW members organize a dinner and a 
pheasant hunt for disabled veterans, as well as an annual Memorial Day 
parade to honor those who have died for our great United States of 
America.
  We are immensely grateful to the services of all New Jersey 
organizations that help those who have served our country.
  Madam Speaker, I especially want to thank the Pennsville Veterans of 
Foreign Wars, whose countless acts of service make an incredible impact 
on our community as well as our country. We are proud of them, and we 
love them for what they have done.
