  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable veteran, Reverend Larry Williams. Reverend Williams has 
shown what can be done through hard work, dedication and a desire to 
make a positive difference in doing God's will.
  Reverend Williams, a resident of Mayersville, Mississippi, was born 
May 25, 1953, to Paul and Gracie Williams in Clarksdale, Mississippi. 
He enlisted in the United States Army December 7, 1972, and served 
until January 1993.
  Reverend Williams completed his graduation through the Army Program 
while in Germany. Later, he attended the University of Maryland and 
earned his Associates Degree from Central Texas College.
  He is married to Terry Williams. Together, they have one son, 
Dominique Williams. Reverend Williams was installed as Pastor at Saint 
Peter Missionary Baptist Church in December 2006. It is his passion to 
minister to those who are lost.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Reverend 
Larry Williams for his dedication and service to our great country.
