                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 19, 2004

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the retirement of 
Chaplain (Major) Floyd L. White III from the United States Army 
Reserve, and to recognize his years of service to his community and 
country.
  Chaplain White served his country for 20 proud years, from June 4, 
1983, to November 7, 2003. His role in the U.S. Army Reserve took him 
across the country and across the world. He served as a Battalion 
Chaplain for the 457th and 451st Chemical Battalions in Greenville, SC, 
and as a Brigade Chaplain for two brigades at Fort Dix, NJ. He served 
overseas in South Korea in Operation Team Spirit in 1990, and in 2001 
he served in a Warfighter Exercise in Grafenwoehr, Germany.
  Chaplain White is also a dedicated and motivated community leader. He 
is the Pastor of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church in Camden, NJ, 
and is President of the Woodland Community Development Corporation. He 
serves on the boards of the Cooper University Hospital Foundation, the 
United Way of Camden County, the Camden Eye Center, and the Cooper 
Ferry Camden Waterfront Development Board.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to honor Chaplain White today. 
He embodies the American spirit of service to one's family, community, 
and country. I thank him for his dedicated service and wish Chaplain 
Floyd White all the best in his future endeavors.
