                       Monday, November 13, 2006

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Henry Bolus, a 
model citizen of Brooklyn, New York. It behooves us to pay tribute to 
this outstanding American and I hope my colleagues will join me in 
recognizing his impressive service.
  Henry Bolus voluntarily enlisted in the U.S. Army, proudly serving 
our country during the Korean Conflict as a Paratrooper with the 187th 
Airborne Regimental Combat Team. He is a product of the New York City 
public school system and later enrolled at New York City's Kingsborough 
Community College for undergraduate studies. His success at 
Kingsborough Community College earned him Presidential level membership 
in the National Society of Leadership and Success, Sigma Alpha Phi.
  Mr. Bolus recently reached a personal milestone by becoming the 
president of Brooklyn's renowned Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club. He 
was also elected delegate to the New York State Judicial Convention. 
Mr. Bolus is an honorary life member of the Knights of Columbus. He is 
also an active member of Canarsie's Shrine Church of St. Jude, where he 
serves as an usher and member of the finance committee.
  Mr. Bolus has been the loving husband of Josephine Bolus since 1954 
and is the proud father of Sabrina Jo Bolus and Michael Henry Bolus.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is incumbent on this body to recognize 
the work of Henry Bolus. His deep commitment to his family and 
community makes him most worthy of our recognition today.
