                         Thursday, June 7, 2007

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize and 
honor Norman Rosenshein, Commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the 
United States of America for his tireless efforts and dedication on 
behalf of America's veterans. Jewish War Veterans of the USA, is the 
oldest active veterans association in the United States, founded by 
civil war veterans in 1896. Today, the Jewish War Veterans of the USA 
is dedicated to those programs that support the needs of our veterans' 
community; combat anti-Semitism and bigotry; support American youth 
through scouting, scholarships and anti-drug programs; and assist 
oppressed Jews worldwide.
  Mr. Rosenshein served in the U.S. Army on active duty from December 
8, 1964 until December 7, 1966. He joined the Jewish War Veterans of 
the United States of America in January 1970. Since 1970, he has been 
an active member of David Blick Post 63 of Elizabeth, NJ. During that 
time Mr. Rosenshein has held all of the post offices until finally in 
August of 2006 when he was elected National Commander.
  In addition to the Jewish War Veterans, Mr. Rosenshein is active in 
his congregation, having served as their Vice President. Because of his 
expertise, Mr. Rosenshein was appointed to the New Jersey Healthcare 
System Veterans Stakeholder Advisory Group in 1995 and presently serves 
on their committees. I applaud Mr. Rosenshein's whole hearted 
commitment to the Jewish War Veterans. He has proved himself a 
tenacious advocate and his continuous contribution for their welfare 
and wellbeing is truly commendable.
