           RECOGNIZING WORLD WAR II VETERAN ROBERT ROTHENBERG

  (Mr. MILLER of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize World War 
II veteran Robert Rothenberg, an American hero from Ohio. Robert was a 
landing ship motor machinist's mate 2nd class on the USS La Moure 
County (LST-883).
  Robert sailed the Western Pacific, from the Marshalls and the 
Marianas to battle-torn Okinawa.
  After discharging the men and equipment on Okinawa, Robert traveled 
with the 6th Marine Division to Pearl Harbor.
  After Japan surrendered, his ship delivered occupying troops to that 
country.
  Despite his service in the war, Robert was never presented with any 
of the service medals and decorations he earned for his courage and 
sacrifice to our Nation. I am so pleased that we recently were able to 
finally present him with the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-
Pacific Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
  I thank Robert for his service. Let us never forget the service and 
sacrifice of America's Greatest Generation.
