                         HON. JOSEPH M. HOEFFEL

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 19, 2004

  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
Corporal William A. Sydnor Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #3398, located 
in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, on its 55 years of community involvement 
and dedication.
  Since its beginning in 1939, Post #3398 has represented the efforts 
of an entire community. The building itself has changed several times, 
but the underlying spirit has never wavered.
  Post #3398 has a long history of helping the community. The Post's 
involvement includes sponsoring several annual community events such as 
the Children's Halloween Party, the Senior Citizens Dinner, the Easter 
Egg Hunt, and Memorial Day Services. In addition, each year Post #3398 
presents the William C. Purcell Scholarship to students planning to 
attend college. The Post now has four registered service officers to 
take care of the needs of veterans, widows, and the families of 
veterans.
  Today the Corporal William A. Sydnor Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 
#3398 has grown from 36 Charter Members to over 250 members, and 
approximately 75 Ladies Auxiliary members. I wish the members of Post 
#3398 continued success and commend them for 55 years of service.
