       RECOGNIZING SEMYON ``SIMON'' VINDMAN ON HIS 94TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize an individual who 
is brave, strong, proud, tough, and most importantly, loving: my hero, 
my dad.
  At the age of 47, my dad, a widower, decided to uproot his life and 
bring his family to the United States in order to provide us an 
opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
  Over the last 46 years, he has raised us, provided us support, love, 
and everything that a family could need.
  Today, he is celebrating his 94th birthday. Happy birthday to my dad. 
I love him and here is to many more.
