                      Wednesday, February 15, 2006

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Sandy Germany, 
National President of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign 
Wars of the United States.
  Ms. Germany is being honored for her commitment and dedication to 
veterans all over our country who have served with bravery and honor in 
our Nation's conflicts. As a Life Member of Kiehler-Pippen Auxiliary 
#5658, her involvement hits close to home with her own father, Pete 
Frauenhoffer, who served in the Army Air Corps in World War II, her 
brother, Ronald, who served two tours in Vietnam in the United States 
Air Force and her son, Curtis, who has been in the military since 1986 
serving in the U.S. Army in Korea and recently in Iraq.
  The Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United 
States is dedicated to the principle of freedom for all people around 
the world. The organization's plans for 2005-2006 include helping 
veterans and their families by caring for their children at the VFW 
National Home for Children, providing special assistance through the 
Rehabilitation Program, volunteering in VA Medical Centers, sending 
care packages to the troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar, and 
teaching young people about the responsibilities of citizenship.
  Ms. Germany was elected and installed as National President of the 
Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States 
at its 92nd National Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 25, 
2005.
  She has served in many positions for the organization, including 
Auxiliary President. As District and State President, she earned 
Runner-Up Outstanding President of the Year. She also served as 
National Junior Girls Units Director, as National District Council 
Member #8, and eight years as State Secretary.
  Ms. Germany is also a life member of the VFW National Home for 
Children and belongs to the American Legion Auxiliary and the Military 
Order of the Cooties Auxiliary.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Sandy 
Germany, a woman who has dedicated herself to all veterans, our 
community and the State of Michigan.
