                CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF DANIEL J. MABIN

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, Daniel J. Mabin, World War II veteran, 
Korean War-era veteran, passed away this afternoon in Pennsylvania. Dan 
was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and he was the loving 
husband

of his wife, Sheelagh. He was preceded in death by his beloved son 
Sean.
  Dan was a member of what has been called ``the Greatest Generation 
any society has ever produced,'' and he certainly earned that 
distinction by defending this country through two conflicts.
  Sheelagh was his English war bride, whom he brought to America and 
settled in Levittown, Pennsylvania. When he left the service, Dan 
worked hard to support his growing family, often working several jobs.
  Dan was someone who loved his country and cared deeply about its 
future. During his life, he served his community and worked to better 
the lives of those around him. He imparted these values to his 
children, who have gone on to contribute greatly to their communities 
as well.
  I had the honor and the pleasure of knowing Dan. He's left a lasting 
impression on those he touched. May his soul rest in peace.
