             TRIBUTE TO BRIGADIER GENERAL HARRY C. ADERHOLT

  (Mr. ADERHOLT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to 
Brigadier General Harry C. ``Heinie'' Aderholt, a true America hero and 
one of the founders of the United States Air Force Special Operations. 
On May 20 of this year, I and many others across the State and across 
the Nation were saddened to hear about the passing of General Aderholt.
  Heinie, as he was affectionately known by all those who knew him and 
loved him, began his military service with the United States Army Air 
Corps in 1942 and retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1976. General 
Heinie Aderholt will be remembered for his valor, his character, and 
his strength. It was an honor to have known him as a relative, friend, 
and great American patriot, and his leadership will be missed by all 
who knew him. His influence for good for all Americans will live on.
  A memorial service will be held at Hurlburt Air Park at Fort Walton 
Beach, Florida, on July 2, 2010, at 9 a.m. Our thoughts and prayers are 
with his wife, Anne; his daughter, Janet; and son, George, and all of 
their family.
  Thank you, Heinie, for all you did for America.
