  Ms. MALLIOTAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 50th 
anniversary of the Fr. Capodanno Lodge. A part of The Order Sons of 
Italy in America, the oldest and largest Italian American fraternal 
association in the nation, the Lodge was originally chartered on 
November 9, 1971. Since 2007, the Lodge has been named after Fr. 
Capodanno, a Catholic chaplain from Staten Island who died in service 
in Vietnam. Like its namesake, the lodge has dedicated itself to the 
community, hosting social events, raising money for charity, and 
offering scholarships. This September, the anniversary picnic will be 
celebrated concurrently with the grand opening celebration of the 
Garibaldi-Meucci Museum in September. I congratulate the Lodge for 
their fifty years of service.
