                        Wednesday, March 8, 2006

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it's not every day that I get the 
opportunity to recognize someone who has dedicated so many years of 
service to our country.
  It's with thanks and appreciation that I ask my colleagues to join me 
today in recognizing Gordon L. Zeine for his service as a member of the 
U.S. Navy, and for his work supporting our country's defense efforts in 
the years that followed.
  Gordon's 8 years in the Navy and his decades working on technology 
that has enhanced our security are wonderful achievements--achievements 
that will have a lasting impact on our country. It's an impressive 
thing to be able to say your work has made America safer.
  We're grateful for Gordon and his contributions to America, and we 
know he has certainly earned his retirement. We'll miss his tremendous 
knowledge and dedication nonetheless, but we will build on his work.

  We know his daughter, Tina, who joined the Navy and was the fourth 
generation to complete boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois, is already 
building on her family's record of service. It's because of families 
like Gordon's that America is strong.
  Tennessee and America are proud of Gordon and we're thankful for his 
service. God Bless.
