   IN HONOR OF THE LADIES AUXILIARY OF THE POLISH LEGION OF AMERICAN 
                                VETERANS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 14, 2006

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 75th anniversary 
of the Polish Legion of American Veterans Ladies Auxiliary, Abraham 
Lincoln Post Thirteen, and to celebrate the commitment of this 
dedicated group of patriotic women to charity for our veterans and 
Nation.
  The Abraham Lincoln Post Thirteen is the oldest chapter in the State 
of Ohio, and has maintained their dedication to honoring and supporting 
veterans throughout the years. The group ensures that American veterans 
receive the benefits and support they deserve for representing our 
great Nation. The women welcome new veterans from current wars, as well 
as bring much needed light into the lives of senior veterans. These 
women make regular visits to veteran's wards of a local hospital to 
take the Nation's former defenders to breakfast and religious services. 
In recent years, the Ladies Auxiliary's great work has raised enough 
money to dedicate a stone in the Western Reserve National Cemetery. 
This stone is a noble commemorative monument to the deceased veterans 
of the Polish Legion of American Veterans, as well as the women of the 
Ladies' Auxiliary who have loyally supported all the servicemen and 
women of the United States Armed Services.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in recognizing the wonderful 
work and dedication of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Polish Legion of 
American Veterans on this momentous anniversary. The chapter members 
are proud of their Polish heritage, culture, and we share in their 75 
years of accomplishments. I am confident that the Polish Legion of 
American Veterans Ladies Auxiliary will continue their commitment to 
work for the veterans and country well in to the years to come.
