      HONORING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF NORTH OAKLAND VFW POST 334

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELISSA SLOTKIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 2, 2020

  Ms. SLOTKIN. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to celebrate the 75th 
anniversary of VFW Post 334 in Oxford, Michigan.
  Since its founding, VFW Post 334 has served the local community in 
Oxford. Whether it's their shelf at the Oxford/Orion FISH food pantry, 
a float in the annual Christmas parade, or maintaining the local 
veterans' memorial, Oxford residents can count on VFW Post 334 to show 
up and care.
  VFW Post 334 is committed to making a difference in the lives of 
veterans who answered the call to serve. By praying for those deployed, 
supporting their families at home, and honoring those who are no longer 
with us, VFW members strengthen the bonds that connect them back to 
their service.
  For its work, VFW Post 334 was recognized in 2019 as a Michigan All-
State Post for the third year in a row.
  Most recently, it was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Award, given to VFW 
Charters that have demonstrated exceptional service for three-quarters 
of a century.
  In closing, I want to thank Quartermaster Chuck Haskin, Senior Vice 
Commander Randy Stetson, and Post Commander Jim Hubbard for their 
leadership and service to the North Oakland community.
  The spirit of VFW Post 334 can be found in the closing words of the 
Commander's message on their web page: ``We honor the dead by helping 
the living.''
  I congratulate VFW Post 334 on a successful 75 years and wish them 
all the best in the next 75 years to come.
