                  IN HONOR OF CAPTAIN G. RUSSELL BROWN

  (Mr. CROWLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CROWLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain G. 
Russell Brown, a native of Astoria, Queens, New York. After almost 40 
years of service, Captain Brown is retiring from serving our Nation in 
the United States Navy. During the course of his career, Captain Brown 
has been willing to make tremendous sacrifices for his country. He has 
given his life to service of his country in our Navy.
  He entered the Navy in 1962 and began to work at the Hospital Corps

School 2 years later. He served our Nation in Vietnam and after his 
return, he served posts in the Navy throughout the world. During the 
last 30 years, Captain Brown has served in California, Germany, Italy 
and Midway Island. Throughout that entire time, he has always been 
willing to sacrifice for his country.
  Captain Brown, along with his wife, the former Gillian Ann Collett of 
Reading, England, has 2 daughters, Rebecca Evelyn and Heather Ann.
  On behalf of the people he has served for so many years, I would like 
to thank him for his service to our Navy and our country. I would also 
like to offer his family the best of luck as he moves into life outside 
of our Armed Forces.
