Mr. Speaker. the freedom and opportunities of this country have blessed many with success. Today I would like to honor one such Americanone who continues to work diligently for this land and its people. Abe Margolies was born in New York Citys Harlem. His parents were penniless immigrants from Russia. Along with his five brothers and two sisters. Abe was raised with strong values and high ideals that compensated for the lack of material wealth in his home. Due to poor eyesight and a serious leg injury. Abes strong effort to enlist for military service during World War II was rejected by the Army.
