 CELEBRATING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT, VFW POST 308

  (Ms. ESTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and congratulate VFW Post 308 
in Newtown, Connecticut, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this 
past Sunday.
  Since 1939, the members of Post 308 have demonstrated a remarkable 
commitment to civic engagement and community service in everything they 
do, whether it is assisting tornado victims in Oklahoma, providing 
college scholarships to deserving high school graduates, or supporting 
families affected

by the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in their 
hometown.
  The men and women of Post 308 serve their community, their State, and 
their country with distinction. I congratulate Post 308 on celebrating 
this milestone.
