HONORING MADELENE MACIAS, JACK A. LOPEZ, CLYDE A. LOPEZ, AND MANUEL
MACIAS
(Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, all gave some and some made the ultimate
sacrifice.
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor The American Legion volunteer
Madelene Macias and her three brothers, Jack Lopez, Clyde Lopez, and
Manuel Macias.
All of Madelene's brothers served honorably and fought in some of our
Nation's toughest battles. Private First Class Jack Lopez was a
technician, Clyde Lopez served in World War II, and Staff Sergeant
Manuel Macias served in the Vietnam war.
Jack Lopez was tragically killed in action in Okinawa, and Madelene
reached out to my office to make sure he was honored 77 years later.
Mr. Lopez's ultimate sacrifice earned him our country's recognition
with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Madelene for her commitment to our country and
our community. I thank each of her brothers for their service and
sacrifice for this great Nation.
