          LADIES AUXILIARY DEPARTMENT PRESIDENT LYNN MUSSELMAN

  Mr. SPECTER. Madam President, we often recognize military veterans 
for their many contributions to our country. Where would this country 
be were it not for their sacrifices made in times of wars? Today, I 
would like to recognize other Americans who also give freely of their 
time and energy to the public good. These unsung heroes are the women 
of veterans' auxiliaries who conduct youth activities, community 
service and promote the ideals of America without compensation and 
without sufficient recognition.
  One such woman is Lynn Musselman, the Pennsylvania department 
president

for the VFW's Ladies Auxiliary. Lynn's late father Otto Musselman was a 
combat engineer in the European Theatre during World War II. As a 
result of her father's service, Lynn decided to join the VFW Ladies 
Auxiliary in Sellersville, PA, in 1973. The rest is a lifetime of very 
active public service. While serving as auxiliary president, she has 
held a number of chairmanships and has served as a trustee. On the 
department level, Lynn has chaired the Youth Activities, Voice of 
Democracy, Community Service, Scotland School, Americanism and Loyalty 
Day and Membership Committees. For her ability in gaining high 
participation by Auxiliaries in each program under her direction, the 
National Office of the Veterans of Foreign Wars has cited her 
accomplishments. It is no wonder that in June 2003 she was elected as 
department president.
  In addition to her full time job as the controller for a commercial 
roofing company, she is also a member of the Quakertown American Legion 
Auxiliary No. 242 and a life member of Freedom Valley Girl Scout 
Council for 39 years.
  In June 2004, President Musselman completes her tour of duty as 
Department President; and I officially recognize her for her 
outstanding service to veterans and her country.
