             HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF ZIGGY WILINSKI

  (Mr. ZELDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ZELDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Ziggy Wilinski, who recently lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.
  A Vietnam War veteran and USPS postmaster and general manager, Ziggy 
loved our country and community more than anything. Ziggy was an icon 
in the town of Riverhead, which boasts a large Polish-American 
population.
  You could often find Ziggy planning and organizing events at the 
Riverhead Polish Hall, which was used to gather the community for 
parties, performances, and other gatherings. He was also instrumental 
in planning and organizing the iconic annual Riverhead Polish Town 
Festival. Speaking from experience, it is a fantastic event that draws 
thousands of people every year.
  Thank you to Ziggy, his wife, Wanda, and his entire family for their 
service to our community. Ziggy was a great guy. He will be greatly 
missed, but I have no doubt his legacy will live on for generations to 
come.
