  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr Speaker,  I would like to call to your attention the 
great service and patriotism demonstrated by the members of the 
congregation of Temple Sholom in Cedar Grove, New Jersey who so 
valiantly served and fought on behalf of the American people. On 
Friday, May 23, 2003, at the Sabbath eve service, the Brotherhood of 
Temple Sholom commenced the celebration of Memorial Day Weekend by 
honoring those members of its congregation who are veterans of the 
armed forces of the United States of America.
  As a veteran of the United States Army and the Army Reserve, I am 
honored to join the Brotherhood of Temple Sholom in paying tribute to 
the great dedication and loyalty that these men have demonstrated for 
their country. In giving so generously of themselves, they have ensured 
the safety of our country, while defending the human right to justice, 
freedom, and peace throughout the world. Their selfless and 
unquestioning commitment to promoting the tenets of liberty and 
democracy on which our country is founded deserves an expression of our 
esteem.

contributions to the United States of America be saluted, in this, the
