                 IN HONOR OF MARIO GUILIO MUSCIANO, SR.

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 4, 2012

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the beloved Mario 
Guilio Musciano, Sr. of Somerdale, New Jersey who passed away on 
Friday, November 23, 2012.
  Born and raised in Camden, Mr. Musciano's life has been an 
inspiration to the citizens of South Jersey. As a United States Army 
veteran, he served with distinction during World War II, rising to the 
rank of sergeant as he fought to protect the freedoms that we all, as 
Americans, cherish. He survived the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor 
and has, for over a decade, been an honored speaker at the annual Pearl 
Harbor Remembrance Ceremony held aboard the USS New Jersey.
  A self-employed entrepreneur, Mr. Musciano owned and retired from the 
Sterling Tile Company of Somerdale, NJ. He was counted a member of both 
the Lion's Club and the Pearl Harbor Survivors' Club, and was a devoted 
husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother. He will 
be sorely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, Mario Guilio Musciano was a great man who exemplified 
the American spirit. I join the people of Somerdale and all of South 
Jersey in honoring the life of this exceptional man.
