                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 23, 2005

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, for more than 20 years Ronald Davis has 
served Tennessee and the Nation as a member of our Armed Forces and a 
dedicated District Attorney General for the 21st Judicial District.
  And today, looking back on those years of faithful service, it's fair 
to say that we in Tennessee have been truly fortunate to count Ron as a 
friend and neighbor.
  It is with pride and thanks that we recognize Captain Ronald Davis as 
he retires from the United States Coast Guard. Ron's service history is 
truly inspiring. He served in Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, 
Operation Allied Force, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi 
Freedom. The commendations and medals awarded to Captain Davis are 
simply too many to mention here, but among those he's received is the 
prestigious Defense Superior Service Medal.
  Williamson County and middle Tennessee are thankful Ron will continue 
his work as District Attorney General, and we look forward to many more 
years of his leadership in our civic and community organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, it is because of men and women like Ron that America 
remains strong and free. God bless Ron and his family.
