        after World War II, and more than 20 percent of the period of 
        the existence of military and naval affairs committees of 
        Congress, the original bodies of which were formed in 1816.

        a distinguished veteran of service, including combat service, 
        in the Armed Forces of the United States.
            (3) Senator Thurmond was commissioned as a reserve second 
        lieutenant of infantry in 1924. He served with great 
        distinction with the First Army in the European Theater of 
        Operations during World War II, landing in Normandy in a glider 
        with the 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day. He was transferred to 
        the Pacific Theater of Operations at the end of the war in 
        Europe and was serving in the Philippines when Japan 
        surrendered.
