  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor Mr. Robert James Garlow by entering his name in the 
Congressional Record, the official record of the proceedings and 
debates of the United States Congress since 1873. Today, I honor Mr. 
Garlow for his extensive service to both our country and community.
  Mr. Garlow joined the U.S. Air Force on October 19, 1966. He 
graduated Officer's Training School in 1967 and earned his Master's in 
Engineering Facilities in 1974. Mr. Garlow's service as an engineer in 
the Air Force took him and his wife Susan around the globe, with 
assignments in Texas, New Mexico, Japan, North Dakota, Ohio, Germany, 
Panama City, and Spain before his arrival at Nellis Air Force Base in 
Las Vegas, Nevada in July of 1983. Since that time, Robert and Susan 
have called Boulder City, Nevada home. During this time, Mr. Garlow 
received his Nevada registration as a Professional Civil Engineer.
  In 1986, Robert retired from the Air Force as a Civil Engineer 
Officer with the rank of Major after 20 years of service. Since his 
retirement from the military, Robert has worked in the Las Vegas Valley 
as a Director of Facilities for numerous companies and most recently 
retired from the City of North Las Vegas where he worked as a Senior 
Project Manager.
  Mr. Garlow is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), 
Military Order of the Cootie (MOC), Vietnam Veterans of America, and 
Scottish American Military Society (SAMS). He has served as Chairman of 
the Nevada Veterans Assistance League and the Veterans Cemetery 
Volunteer Group. Mr. Garlow volunteers a great deal of his time to 
these two organizations and has been an advocate and supporter to our 
veterans in Southern Nevada.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Mr. Robert James Garlow for his 
most recent retirement, his continued volunteerism in the community, 
and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
