Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, with POW/MIA Recognition Day on
September 15, I rise to honor Corporal Frank Louis Garguiolo, a veteran
of, and prisoner of war during, the Second World War. He embodies the
best of the Greatest Generation. The son of immigrants, Frank was born in 1923, the youngest of seven
siblings. He grew up in Cheektowaga and attended Buffalo schools. Tragedy struck young, and Frank's father passed away when he was just
12. Frank then went to work to support his mother and family. At 19, Frank enlisted in the United States Army, serving with the 3rd
Infantry Division.
