  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, October is Italian Heritage Month, a 
time where we celebrate the culture and contributions of our beautiful 
Italian American community. Hammonton, South Jersey is famous not only 
for their blueberries, but their deep Italian roots and heritage too. 
Recently had the honor of attending Hammonton's annual Columbus Day 
event, where the Sons of Italy recognize a local family that has had an 
impact on the community. The Sons of Italy in Hammonton do their utmost 
to preserve the Italian culture, heritage, and history that is so 
special to the community. It was a privilege to present them with a 
Congressional Proclamation, in recognition of their dedication to the 
Hammonton Community, and on such a special day for Italian Americans. I 
thank them for the work their organization does, not just for the 
Italian community, but for every Hammontonian. God Bless Sons of Italy, 
and God Bless America.
