THE STORY C0NTINUES:

THE CONROY-RENYE-MCNEIL VFW POST 4422: 77 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY OF TAYLOR,MI.

Mr. LEVIN, Mr. President, on Saturday, September 23, 1995, the Conroy-Renye-McNeil VFW Post 4422 in Taylor, MI. Is holding a special banquet commemorating 50 years of service to the community of Taylor, MI.

VFW Post was chartered on September 15, 1945 and was named in honor of Army Pvt. Robert Francis Conroy, Marine Buckley Renye and Navy Seaman Robert McNeil.  Conroy, Renye, and McNeil were the first citizens from Taylor,MI., to lose their lives while bravely serving the United States in World War II.

In honor of these three brave gentlemen from Taylor, MI., and in honor of all of the fine American men and women who served our country in times of war, the members of VFW Post 4422 have dedicated their efforts and resources for the last 50 years to provide community service projects for the Taylor community.

The community service projects that the members of VFW Post 4422 are involved in include: Youth programs, drug awareness programs, Americanism education, programs for senior citizens, programs for needy families, and programs for veterans, their families, widows and orphans. The members of Post 4422 are also especially proud of their efforts in 1983 when the Post collected and sent 1,500 Christmas gifts to our troops in Beirut.

Mr. President, the members of VFW Post 4422 have not only proudly served our country in military service, but they have continued to serve our country through their commitment to their community. The members of the Conroy-Renye-McNeil VFW Post 4422 deserve the Senate’s congratulations as they mark their 50th year of service to the community of Taylor, MI. They also deserve our appreciation and gratitude for all of the good deeds that they have done and continue to do.
