“Mr. President, I rise today to honor the 100th anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Minot, ND, as well as the 100-year birthdays of two Kiwanis members, ND, constituents, Mr. Lynn Aas and Mr. John Sinn. Since its founding on May 27, 1921, the Kiwanis Club of Minot has helped make my home town a better place to live. As a former member of this organization, I deeply appreciate their continued dedication and contributions to the community and surrounding area. Some examples of their work include donating books to schools, supporting the arts, and raising money for local service organizations, like the Boy Scouts and the Juvenile Drug Court and Domestic Violence Crisis Center. In these ways, Minot's local Kiwanis chapter helps realize the mission of this international organization and makes a real difference to families and children in the region. At the same time, two notable Kiwanis members, Mr. Lynn Aas and Mr. John Sinn, are celebrating their 100th birthdays this year. As part of the ``greatest generation'' and as World War II veterans, Lynn and John have both been an important part of the Minot community and set a great example for their fellow Kiwanis members. A native of McLean County, ND, Lynn Aas fought as a rifleman in the historic Battle of the Bulge. He served with the 17th Airborne Division of the 193rd Airborne Infantry and received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and the French Legion of Honor medal.…”
