                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THEODORE E. DEUTCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 2, 2015

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Edmond Sarfaty, a 
dear friend who served with my late father Bernard Deutch during World 
War II. Their 84th Infantry Division fought valiantly at the Battle of 
the Bulge, where Mr. Sarfaty was wounded three times.
  I am privileged to represent a district that is home to a large 
number of World War II veterans, veterans to whom I am tremendously 
grateful for their heroic service. The legacy of service and self-
sacrifice from this generation of Americans, exemplified by Mr. Sarfaty 
and so many others, is humbling. Our country owes all servicemembers an 
enormous debt of gratitude. It is also vital that we recognize and 
remember the outstanding sacrifices of their families. Their invaluable 
support is a gift to our Nation, and one that is too often overlooked.
  Throughout his life, Ed Sarfaty has been defined by his dedication, 
willingness to serve, and patriotism. From his military service during 
World War II to his endless community involvement in Florida today, Mr. 
Sarfaty has exemplified selflessness and patriotism. I am grateful for 
the continued friendship of Ed and his wife, Sydelle. I am proud to 
join the Lake Worth West Democratic Club in honoring Mr. Sarfaty and in 
thanking him and all those who gave so much to ensure our freedom.
