Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to join with my colleagues today in honoring the memory of Cpl. Wladyslaw Staniszewski. truly an American hero. Wladyslaw "Scotty" Staniszewski was born in Scotland in 1947. to a Polish father and Scottish mother. His parents. Frank and Rosina Staniszewski. came to this country in 1963. and Scotty joined them here in 1964. They settled in Brockton. MA. with the intention of becoming naturalized American citizens. In 1966 Scotty enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. As he told his mother at the time: "A country worth living in is a country worth fighting for.." At that point Scotty was not yet a U.S. citizen.
