  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize Jack 
Goldman of Jefferson County, Illinois. Jack was recently inducted into 
the Senior Saints Hall of Fame of Jefferson County.
  Jack received this honor for his lifelong service to others. He 
served in World War II as a combat engineer in the United States Army. 
Jack participated in the invasions of Leyte and Okinawa. After serving 
his country he returned to Mt. Vernon where he has literally and 
figuratively changed his community. Jack became involved with the 
Acquisition Committee for the Arts in the City Foundation and as 
chairman of the Sculpture Committee for Cedarhurst. He was named 
Counselor Emeritus for Mitchell Museum in 1995. Jack is an architect 
with Fields, Goldman, and Magee; and is also a member of the Mt. Vernon 
Rotary Club and the Downtown Development Corporation. He and his wife, 
Joan, are members of United Methodist Church.
  I want to congratulate and thank Jack for all he has done and will 
continue to do for the people in his community. He is a saint to all 
who know him and is deserving of this prestigious honor.
