                         Tuesday, June 13, 2006

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to 
rise today to extend my congratulations to LTC Fred H. Carley for his 
induction into the Mobile Alabama Hall of Fame. As a resident in my 
district, Mr. Carley has left a great and lasting impact on Northwest 
Florida and Southeastern Alabama.
  Fred Carley has always served as an active member in his community, 
be it encouraging young people through physical fitness and activities 
or proudly serving his country as an officer in the Air Force. A native 
of the Fowl River community in south Mobile County, AL, Fred Carley 
earned three degrees during his two active military tours at Auburn 
University, where he excelled in athletics, the arts, and academics.
  During his professional career as an engineer, he still found time to 
coach both the Murphy High School and University of South Alabama track 
and cross-country teams, which went on to win many awards. Since his 
transfer to Eglin Air Force Base in 1969, Fred Carley has contributed 
to the fitness and well-being of countless young athletes in Northwest 
Florida, often leading them to national records and championships. He 
has also served as a member of the Senior Bowl Committee, SEAAU 
chairman of athletics, and president of the Air Force Engineering 
Association.
  Lieutenant Colonel Carley has received many awards for his 
achievements. He was honored with the Presidential Physical Fitness 
Leadership Award, selected as 1 of 12 in the Nation, in 1964. He was 
also elected to the U.S. Military Packaging Hall of Fame for his work 
with the Department of Defense.
  Mr. Speaker, the dedication that Frank Carley has shown to his 
students, community, and country is immeasurable. His service as a 
coach, mentor, U.S. Air Force officer, and engineer has benefited so 
many in Florida's First District and its surrounding areas for over 50 
years. I congratulate LTC Frank Carley for his induction into the 
Mobile Alabama Hall of Fame and wish to thank him on behalf of the 
United States Congress for serving as a strong role model for 
generations to come.
