          RECOGNIZING ROBERT MINICHIELLO ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Robert 
Minichiello, a Blauvelt resident and American hero who recently turned 
100 years old.
  Born a few years after the end of World War I, he has lived through 
some of our country's most transformative moments and some of its 
greatest tests.
  Robert served our country honorably during World War II, where he 
fought in Europe as part of the 26th Infantry Division and was wounded 
in the Moselle region of France in November of 1944.
  Robert received the Purple Heart in recognition of his efforts and 
the injuries he sustained. The heroes of our Greatest Generation should 
never be forgotten, and I am proud to count Robert Minichiello, a hero 
of our Greatest Generation, as one of my constituents.
  So please join me in wishing Robert Minichiello of Blauvelt a happy 
100th birthday.
