                        Wednesday, May 26, 2010

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
life of Brigadier General Harry C. Aderholt. General Aderholt's life of 
dedicated service to this country throughout times of conflict and 
times of peace is truly remarkable. It is a great privilege to 
recognize him on this day.
  General Aderholt was the epitome of a military officer, and he will 
always be remembered for the type of man he was--a natural leader, 
always ready to go above and beyond the call of duty. Growing up in 
Birmingham, Alabama as one of seven children, there is no doubt that 
his strong character began to take root during his childhood, fully 
blossoming into the virtues of integrity, discipline and diligence.
  General Aderholt's illustrious career as an Air Force officer is 
filled with numerous leadership and command positions throughout the 
world. From serving as a young pilot during World War II to being 
assigned Commander of the United States Military Assistance Command, 
Thailand, General Aderholt was a patriot that bravely served this 
country for over 30 years. Through his distinguished and decorated 
career, General Aderholt earned many awards including the Legion of 
Merit with two oak leaf clusters, Distinguish Flying Cross with one oak 
leaf cluster, and the Bronze Star Medal with one oak leaf cluster.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, Madam Speaker, I am honored 
to recognize the life and deeds of Brigadier General Harry C. Aderholt. 
A true patriot, a committed community leader and loving family man--he 
will be missed by many, but his memory will remain. My wife Vicki and I 
extended our prayers and thoughts to the entire Aderholt family.
