IN RECOGNITION OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN LEGION POST 337
______
HON. MIKE GALLAGHER
of wisconsin
in the house of representatives
Friday, May 28, 2021
Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the American Legion Post 337 Mixtacki-Johnson on its 100th Anniversary.
Post 337 was formed on May 16, 1921 when 15 founding members came together to sign the Legion constitution in Pulaski, Wisconsin. For 100 years, the Pulaski American Legion Post 337 has upheld the vision of legions across the country to the highest degree. Post 337 proudly carried the name of Pulaski native and World War One veteran, Private Adam Mixtacki, who was killed in action in France in 1918 at just 21 years old upon their founding. In 1950 they added the name of fellow Pulaski resident and Airforce Veteran, Sergeant Harvey Johnson. Sergeant Johnson was killed in action in Germany during World War Two when his B-26 was shot down by enemy fire.
The legion carries on the memory, service, and sacrifice of Private Mixtacki and Sergeant Johnson through their vision of strengthening America by improving the lives of veterans, the military, and their families.
Post 337 has continued to grow from their beginnings of 15 founding members 100 years ago. Post 337 now has members from Brown, Oconto, Shawano, and Outagamie Counties, who work together to teach future generations about the importance of service. The members of the Post 337 are a true inspiration and example for all Americans. The continued service and dedication that the members of Post 337 have shown to not only the Pulaski community, but to the United States of America is deserving of the highest degree of recognition.
As we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Post 337, we must recognize the outstanding services that they have and continue to provide to Pulaski and surrounding communities. In addition to providing the color guard and rifle squads for local ceremonies, Post 337 enjoys supporting the Pulaski High School and other organizations in countless ways. Post 337 sponsors sporting events, band trips, Badger Boys State, Youth Government day, offers scholarships and ceremonies, all of which have provided countless opportunities for members of the Pulaski community.
Post 337 has been a voice for the men and women who have served our country. At Post 337 every day they put country before self, just as they did the day they enlisted. American Legion Post 337 Mixtacki-
Johnson is a true credit to Northeast Wisconsin.
Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the Pulaski American Legion Post 337 Mixtacki-Johnson as they come together to celebrate their 100th Anniversary.
