                        IN HONOR OF MARTIN ELLIS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2016

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor United States Navy 
Veteran Martin Ellis for his achievements, contributions, and service 
in the United States Navy onboard the USS Green.
  Martin Ellis resides in Cherry Hill, New Jersey where he remains 
committed to his community. His selfless and brave actions in World War 
II are reason enough to honor him, yet Mr. Ellis has demonstrated a 
lifetime of love for his nation. He is very passionate about The United 
States and his patriotic duty to this country. He takes his past 
service in the Navy very seriously, along with being a serious Phillies 
fan.
  Those who decide to serve in our nation's Armed Forces are amongst 
the most heroic in our nation and serve as an example as leaders, in 
not only securing our safety but putting their life on the line for our 
freedom.
  Mister Speaker, Martin Ellis, is a great American whose dedication to 
serving our country in the United States Navy is an inspiration to his 
community. I join with his family, friends, and all of New Jersey in 
honoring the selfless service of this extraordinary man.
