HONORING JAMES ``JIMMY'' MOLL FOR A LIFETIME OF SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY
AND COMMUNITY
______
HON. BRIAN HIGGINS
of new york
in the house of representatives
Thursday, February 25, 2021
Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, James Moll lived as the Preamble to the American Legion Constitution begins, ``for God and country.'' Mr. Moll embodied each of the Legion's value principles. A Veteran is a Veteran that obliges the Legion to help current and former members of the military transition into their community. How better to do this than by becoming Niagara County and Legion Post 264 Commander?
Jim offered his selfless service to the world and his country in the Army, and his American values and patriotism were always on display in his enlistment in the Army and subsequent membership in Chapter 77 of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
``Jimmy's'' engagement with family and community shined in his devotion to his late wife and in his co-founding and board membership of the North Tonawanda Botanical Gardens. His three-decades-long career with the North Tonawanda Board of Education demonstrated his commitment to advancing the vision for new generations of Americans. Mr. Moll honored those who came before with his 45-year commitment to the Legion and lifelong devotion to God.
His service protected citizens, his leadership helped veterans, his work served students, and his appreciation for natural beauty preserved it for others. Truly, James Moll was a Veteran who strengthened America.
