                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Bud Schrier for his longtime service to the community of Carlisle, 
Iowa, and being named 2008 Carlisle Citizen of the Year.
   Bud was born in 1930 and grew up on a farm west of Carlisle. After 
graduating high school, he entered the army and fought in the Korean 
War. He then came back to Carlisle to marry his wife, Betty, and began 
a 35 year career as an automotive parts salesman for NAPA. Since 1954, 
Bud has been an active member of the American Legion, promoting 
patriotism in his community. He also has dedicated a significant amount 
of time to volunteering for the needy. Since 1977, Bud has also been 
involved with the Boy Scouts of America in Carlisle as a Scoutmaster.
   Around town, Bud is known for having a deep respect for the American 
flag. He ensures the respectful and proper display of each flag in town 
and kindly reminds townspeople when their flags need to be replaced. 
Bud's profound reverence for our country certainly sets a wonderful 
example for all of us.
   Bud's dedication to his community and his commitment to volunteer 
service should be commended. I consider it an honor to represent Bud 
Schrier in the U.S. Congress, and I wish him the very best in his 
future endeavors.
