“I briefly thank my colleagues for their support to designate a post office in the city of South Euclid on behalf of the mayor, Arnold C. D'Amico. Mr. Speaker, Arnold D'Amico was born in Warren, Ohio on September 3, 1923 and received his early education from Notre Dame Sisters at Saint Mary's Catholic School. After graduating from Warren Harding School he enrolled at Kent State University. However, World War II interrupted his college education and Mr. D'Amico served with distinction for three years in the United States Army, and was assigned to the Aleutian Islands and the China-Burma-India theaters. Following his distinguished military service he returned to Kent State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in business Administration. After graduation, Mr. D'Amico was very active politically in the Greater Cleveland business community with a career spanning over 20 years. During this time he was elected councilman for Ward 2 in South Euclid, Ohio. While on City Council, Mr. D'Amico served on the Planning Commission, and he was the chairman of the Council of Government of the Tri-City Consortium on Aging Commission. Subsequently, he was elected Mayor of South Euclid, Ohio. In 1976, Arnold D'Amico became South Euclid's first full time Mayor. He was not only committed to the city of South Euclid, but he was also instrumental in moving the city forward.”
