                        HONORING ROY A. HAUBERT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. RON PACKARD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 16, 1998

  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
acknowledge a very special and exceptional man, Mr. Roy A. Haubert.
  In this day and age when family values are on the decline, it is 
comforting to know that there are people like Roy Haubert, who are 
passing a legacy of service, loyalty, and love on to their family. Mr. 
Haubert is a proud father of four children, all of whom he helped put 
through college.
  As a fellow Navy veteran, I hold Roy Haubert in the highest regard. 
He serves as a shining example through his commitment to his beliefs 
and his country. At the young age of 17 he left his home to protect 
freedom and to serve his fellow Americans. He served our country in 
World War II on a Destroyer off the East Coast of the United States and 
in the South Pacific. He received two purple hearts for his service, 
and after WW II, Mr. Haubert enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. Through 
his additional time in the service, Roy Haubert received training at 
the Massachusetts Institute for Technology in electronics and missile 
technology.
  Mr. Haubert utilized his training and worked in the aerospace 
industry in California after leaving the service, where his interest in 
technology grew. He then worked on projects such as the Atlas missile 
program and the F-111 fighter bomber.
  Roy Haubert has devoted his life to service, loyalty and family 
values. His sacrifice and accomplishments are admirable and worthy of 
recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to say thank you to Roy Haubert and 
acknowledge his contribution to his family, his community and to our 
nation. May his example continue to shine on in the hearts and minds of 
those privileged enough to have known him.
