  Mr. KISSELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. Robert 
MacLeod, and his service to the United States of America as a member of 
the United States Coast Guard.
  Due to his exceptional service in the Coast Guard, Mr. MacLeod was 
awarded the Vietnam Service Medal with two bronze stars, the National 
Defense Service Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Ribbon with Device. 
After serving our nation during the Vietnam War, Mr. MacLeod co-founded 
the Metrolina Vietnam Veterans Association in Charlotte, NC. He was the 
inaugural president of the United States Coast Guard Lightship Sailors 
Association of America at its inception, and led efforts for the 
establishment of numerous monuments honoring men and women who have 
served our country.
  Today, I ask all Members of Congress to join me in honoring Mr. 
MacLeod, a great American, and resident of North Carolina, the state 
which I am proud to represent.
