  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of Marino 
Bertini on his 80th birthday. Mr. Bertini began his career working at 
the Portsmouth Naval Hospital. After a ten month stint at the hospital, 
he spent the remainder of his career as a medic aboard the USS 
Randolph. While in the Navy, Mr. Bertini traversed the globe, visiting 
Europe, North Africa, Turkey, India, Madagascar, Zanzibar, Cuba, and 
Hong Kong. Over the course of his service he dealt with a variety of 
injuries and assisted in saving many lives.
  In addition to his service to his country, Mr. Bertini is a loving 
family man. He married the love his life, Sylva, and the couple have 
three wonderful daughters: Lisa, Vanessa, and Sonya. Mr. Bertini has 
always given them unwavering love, support, and dedication. Mr. Bertini 
is proud of his Italian heritage, a trait he showcases through his 
penchant for storytelling and his love of history.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the first district of New Jersey, I would 
like to thank Mr. Bertini for his service and wish him the very best on 
his 80th birthday. Happy Birthday, Marino.
