           IN HONOR OF THE DELAWARE COUNTY VETERANS MEMORIAL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Delaware County 
Veterans Memorial in my home state of Pennsylvania and the tremendous 
work done by Memorial's Board of Directors and its founding member, 
Claude de Botton and his daughter, Nicole de Botton Robinson, to make 
their vision a reality. The memorial, opening to the public next month, 
is a fitting tribute to the veterans of Delaware County. Engraved in 
the memorial's columns are the names of the Delaware County men and 
women who gave their lives in defense of American liberty. Our nation 
owes a debt of gratitude to its veterans that can never be repaid, but 
the Delaware County Veterans' Memorial will honor our veterans and 
ensure their sacrifices will always be remembered by future generations 
of Delaware County families.
