  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Albert Zona of 
Pleasantville, South Jersey. At the age of 18, Albert was drafted into 
the Army during World War II and was stationed in Japan. He was 
honorably discharged from the Army as a Sergeant in 1947. After he was 
discharged, Albert worked several full-time jobs as an auto mechanic 
until he was able to start his own business. He then opened his first 
service station at Edgewater Avenue and Main Street and was one of the 
eight original founding members of the Pleasantville Volunteer Fire 
Company, Station 2. Around 1952, Al moved his service station to 
Absecon and transferred from Pleasantville to Absecon Volunteer Fire 
Department. He then sold that service station in 1998, ending his 
career as a volunteer firefighter. Al should be proud of his 
accomplishments and service to the South Jersey community and to 
America. I thank Al for his service. God Bless Al and God Bless 
America.
