      EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO LOU DiNUZZO OF WATERVLIET, NEW YORK

  (Mr. McNULTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McNULTY. Mr. Speaker, during this time of war, our thoughts are 
constantly with our active duty military personnel overseas, and also 
with all of the men and women who wore the uniform of the United States 
military through the years. One of those veterans is my friend Lou 
DiNuzzo of Watervliet, New York, an Air Force lieutenant during World 
War II. Thankfully Lou returned home safely, and with his wife Edna 
raised a beautiful family to carry on in their fine traditions. Lou 
rendered outstanding community service for many years as a member of 
the Watervliet City Council, and for the past 15 years has served as an 
unpaid volunteer in my Albany congressional office. Lately, Mr. 
Speaker, Lou DiNuzzo has faced very serious health challenges. He has 
met those challenges with the same courage and grace with which he has 
faced all of the other challenges in his life.
  Members have heard me many times on this floor say that my first two 
priorities when I get up in the morning are to thank God for my life 
and veterans for my way of life. Mr. Speaker, when I said my morning 
prayers today, I was thankful for a great many things, but first and 
foremost on this day I am grateful that Lou DiNuzzo is my friend.
