HONORING JAMES ``JIMMY'' MOLL FOR A LIFETIME OF SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY 
                             AND COMMUNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 25, 2021

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, James Moll lived as the 
Preamble to the American Legion Constitution begins, ``for God and 
country.'' Mr. Moll embodied each of the Legion's value principles. A 
Veteran is a Veteran that obliges the Legion to help current and former 
members of the military transition into their community. How better to 
do this than by becoming Niagara County and Legion Post 264 Commander?
  Jim offered his selfless service to the world and his country in the 
Army, and his American values and patriotism were always on display in 
his enlistment in the Army and subsequent membership in Chapter 77 of 
the Vietnam Veterans of America.
  ``Jimmy's'' engagement with family and community shined in his 
devotion to his late wife and in his co-founding and board membership 
of the North Tonawanda Botanical Gardens. His three-decades-long career 
with the North Tonawanda Board of Education demonstrated his commitment 
to advancing the vision for new generations of Americans. Mr. Moll 
honored those who came before with his 45-year commitment to the Legion 
and lifelong devotion to God.
  His service protected citizens, his leadership helped veterans, his 
work served students, and his appreciation for natural beauty preserved 
it for others. Truly, James Moll was a Veteran who strengthened 
America.
