RECOGNIZING JOHN POST

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 86 (Wednesday, May 21, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 86 (Wednesday, May 21, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E465] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING JOHN POST ______ HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR. of new jersey in the house of representatives Wednesday, May 21, 2025 Mr. KEAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and legacy of John N. Post--a patriot who was and still is truly committed to service, community, and country. John moved to Westfield, New Jersey, at age ten and graduated from Westfield High School in 1958. He attended St. Peter's College, where he joined the U.S. Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class program. On the day he graduated in 1962, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. John went on to study at Georgetown Law School and was admitted to the bar in both New Jersey and the District of Columbia. He served for three years as a legal officer in the Marine Corps, advising commands both in the U.S. and in Vietnam. In 1966, while still on active duty, John married his wife, Mary. After completing his service, he founded the law firm now known as Post Polak, P.A., where he served as managing partner until 2008. Today, I am pleased to join the Borough of Mountainside in honoring John Post as he serves as a Co-Grand Marshal of the Mountainside Memorial Day Parade. His life is a testament to the core principles that define our Nation: service, commitment, and integrity. ____________________
