                        TRIBUTE FOR G. PAUL CAREY

                                 ______


                         HON. JOSEPH M. McDADE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 1995
  Mr. McDADE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues the death of one of my constituents, G. Paul Carey, on 
February 18, 1995.
  Mr. Carey was born in Archbald, PA, where he lived until the age of 
18. One week after graduation from Archbald High School, Mr. Carey 
enlisted in the Navy, serving with distinction in the South Pacific for 
6 years. During this yearlong commemoration of the 50th anniversary of 
the end of World War II, it is fitting that we remember the life of one 
of the men who fought to end this devastating conflict.
  Mr. Carey went above and beyond the call of duty, winning six Bronze 
Stars for defending our great Nation with courage and valor. His 
heroism was first demonstrated on the U.S.S. Coney during the battle of 
Latie Gulf, when, after a surprise attack, the Japanese almost 
annihilated the American destroyers in that area. Torpedoman 3d Class 
Carey received a communique from Admiral Nimitz congratulating him for 
the valor he exhibited during the attack.
  In addition to his outstanding military record, Mr. Carey was a 
devoted family man. He is survived by his wife, the former Jeanne 
Walsh, RN, and his three sons, James, Patrick, and Paul, who will 
remember their father as the epitomy of honor and strength.
  Mr. Carey's years of hard work as a traffic manager for Golo Footwear 
Corp. and his dedication to church and family earned him the respect 
and admiration of everyone he knew. He will truly be missed.
