                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. MURPHY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 22, 2010

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor the World War II Veterans of American Legion Post 960.
  As we mark the 65th anniversary to the end of World War II, it is 
important that we continue to recognize the remarkable courage and 
sacrifice these members of the greatest generation of Americans gave 
for our country. We must never forget their struggle to maintain an 
enduring freedom throughout the world, and we all owe a debt to those 
who defended our liberty under circumstances most of us can only 
imagine.
  I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to American Legion Post 
960 for providing such a invaluable service to our community and our 
veterans. Established April 26, 1956, the 478 member post has been a 
place for veterans to gather together and their food holiday drives 
have helped feed many needy families in our community.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize the World War II Veterans of 
American Legion Post 960 for their extraordinary heroics and sacrifices 
for our country, and I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
service of these brave Americans.
