                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 1, 2012

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Honorable 
Ernest Oros for his lifetime of dedicated public service. Ernie was 
born and raised in Phillipsburg, New Jersey and currently resides in 
Colonia, New Jersey, part of Woodbridge Township. From a young age 
Ernie felt called to serve the Nation he loves. Ernie joined the United 
States Marine Corps as a young man where he was deployed overseas with 
the Second Marine Division. He served in Guam, Saipan and Japan and was 
honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1946.
  Ernie continued his public service on the Woodbridge council where he 
championed the creation of the Czick-Varga Memorial Park to honor local 
veterans who gave their lives to defend our Nation. He was a party 
leader on the local and county Republican committees and was elected to 
the New Jersey General Assembly in 1991 where he served two 
distinguished terms as an advocate for Middlesex County and New Jersey 
taxpayers.
  Ernie became a small business owner with his brother, Lester, where 
he was known as a caring and effective leader, and is now enjoying a 
well earned retirement with his wife Betty, children and grandchildren.
  I join Assemblyman Oros's many friends in congratulating him for his 
enormous public service to Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County and 
the state of New Jersey and his dedication to his family and our larger 
American society.
