Mr. Speaker. I recently had the distinct honor and privilege of attending the annual General Montgomery Day festivities in the village of Montgomery. NY. The village and surrounding town of Montgomery was named in honor of Gen. Richard Montgomery. an Irish immigrant to our shores who proved to be one of the military heroes and geniuses of our Nations War for Independence. The annual even celebrating this brave and brilliant patriot were quite impressive. Virtually the entire Montgomery community attended and participated in the festivities this year. The appropriate parade and attire. reminded us all of the struggle which resulted in freedom and liberty for all Americans.
