  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and commemorate the 
60th anniversary of the Huron River Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4434, 
whose members have valiantly defended our Nation against all enemies 
and, often, all odds.
  As they transitioned back to their loved ones and civilian life, the 
Huron River Veterans of Foreign Wars continued their distinguished 
service to our country through their dedicated community service 
projects, including the support of local veteran's services and the 
propagation of patriotism education for local youth. Truly, the members 
of the Huron River Veterans of Foreign Wars have provided a stellar 
example of service above self, and have championed the cause of liberty 
and equality within our Nation and our world. May their heroism and 
altruism ever be remembered as an inspiration to every generation of 
Americans.
  In conclusion, then, Mr. Speaker, let us all extend our enduring 
gratitude to the Huron River Veterans of Foreign War Post 4434. It is 
the least we can do for those who have done so much for us.

                          ____________________
