  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carl Taylor, a 
farmer, soldier, and Colorado Native who lived his life in service of 
his country and family.
  Mr. Taylor was born in Blanca, Colorado on May 16, 1919. Shortly 
after his twenty-third birthday, Mr. Taylor joined the U.S. Army. He 
was assigned to Fort Bliss in Company B, 271st Infantry, which 
eventually allowed him to serve in military campaigns all over the 
world. He was involved in the Battle of the Bulge, as well as other 
campaigns in Tunisia, Naples, Rhineland, Rome and Southern France.
  After the war, Mr. Taylor returned to Colorado where he farmed 
barley. He and his wife lived in Center, Colorado, where they 
eventually began to distribute their barley to the Colorado Coors 
factory. On January 8, 2008, Mr. Taylor and his wife, Mona, retired and 
moved to the Colorado State Veteran Center at Homelake, Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Carl Taylor today. 
Throughout his life he has served as an outstanding soldier and 
citizen, and his great life achievements deserve to be noted.
