HONORING STANLEY MOSKAL AS GRAND MARSHAL OF THE 2010 PULASKI DAY PARADE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 28, 2010

  Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Garfield Deputy Mayor Stanley J. Moskal for his selection as grand 
marshal of the 2010 Pulaski Day Parade. The parade, which will be held 
on October 3, 2010, in New York City, is the 73rd annual celebration of 
Polish heritage and General Casimir Pulaski's heroic military 
contributions during the American Revolutionary War.
  A lifelong resident of Garfield, New Jersey, located within my 
Congressional District, the Honorable Stanley Moskal was elected to the 
Garfield Council in 2004. In 2008, he was re-elected to the council as 
Deputy Mayor. Mr. Moskal is an active community leader in the City of 
Garfield, serving on the Board of Directors of both the Garfield YMCA 
and the Garfield Vistula Soccer Club. He is Vice President of the 
Pulaski Parade Association of Garfield and has served as a commissioner 
to Garfield's Joint Insurance Fund. Mr. Moskal is a member of 
Garfield's Community Response Team, having been one of the first 
councilmen in New Jersey to complete this program.
  Deputy Mayor Moskal is an active parishioner of Saint Stanislaus 
Kostka, Roman Catholic Church, where he has served as an usher for 
their Sunday Mass since the age of 15. In 2004, he was selected to be 
Marshal of the Garfield Contingent in the Pulaski Day Parade, making 
him the youngest ever individual to lead Garfield in this annual 
celebration. Mr. Moskal's election as 2010 Grand Marshal brings him the 
additional distinction of being the first-ever Garfield resident to 
serve as Grand Marshal and one of the youngest Grand Marshals in the 
history of the Pulaski Day Parade.
  Madam Speaker, today I would like to congratulate Deputy Mayor Moskal 
on this exciting honor and thank him for his extraordinary 
contributions to the City of Garfield. I am proud to have such a 
dedicated and enthusiastic leader as part of my constituency.
