                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Melvin 
Rosson Post 8356, Veterans for Foreign Wars' seventy-fifth anniversary. 
Melvin Rosson Post 8356 was founded on September 18, 1946, by veterans 
who had just returned home after World War II as a sanctuary for combat 
veterans to gather.
  Over seventy-five years, the Post has displayed Virginia's commitment 
to advocacy and civic engagement. The Melvin Rosson Post lends a needed 
and well-deserved voice to America's veterans, going above and beyond 
to raise awareness and honor the Nation's brave heroes in our 
community. Their displays of courage and determination set an excellent 
example for all of those around us.
  Today the Post's mission remains much the same. With a membership of 
forty plus, the current members strive to serve the community and 
veterans. The Melvin Rosson Post has served as a support system to not 
just the veterans but the surviving spouses and children of military, 
lending a hand whenever possible.
  Therefore Madam Speaker, I ask that you rise with me today to honor 
and celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Melvin Rosson Post 
8356, Veterans for Foreign Wars. I look forward to hearing about the 
future projects and stories of your continued commitment to our 
community and great nation.
