  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a personal

Army and served three years at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.
  In 1981, Everett began working at the Anniston Army Depot and on 
March 2, 2012, retired from Federal services with 34 years of service. 
While employed with the Anniston Army Depot, Everett was Program 
Specialist for the High School Co-Op Program and President of the AFGE 
Local 1945 for nine years. During his career he also held positions of 
Shop Steward, Chief Steward and Vice President of AFGE Local 1945.
  During his career, Everett has served as Senior Pastor at St. Mary 
Missionary Baptist Church for the past 25 years.
  Upon his retirement, Rev. Kelley will continue assisting Federal 
employees as National Vice President of AFGE District 5.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Reverend Everett Kelley 
and thank him for his outstanding service to our community and our 
nation.
