                      REMEMBERING FRANK K. PANTLEO

<bullet> Mr. BENNET. Madam President, I wish to pay tribute to the 
bravery and service of PFC Frank K. Pantleo, a recently passed World 
War II veteran from Pueblo, CO, who served with honor in the Pacific 
Theater.
  Private First Class Pantleo served in the U.S. Army in World War II 
from 1943 to 1945 with the 132nd Engineer Combat Battalion. He 
fearlessly aided in the Bismarck Archipelago Campaign, the Eastern 
Mandates Campaign, the Southern Philippines Campaign, and the Ryukus 
Campaign.
  Private First Class Pantleo was awarded the American Service Medal, 
the Asiatic Pacific Service Medal, the Philippine Liberation Ribbon 
with one service star, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Good 
Conduct Medal during his time in the service to this Nation.
  Every day, men and women in uniform like Private First Class Pantleo 
heroically serve on the frontlines of our Nation's defense. I stand 
with Coloradans today to honor his sacrifice and his memory.<bullet>
