                 HONORING COLONEL GEORGE E. ``BUD'' DAY

  (Mr. MILLER of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I would like to dedicate my 
time to one of America's greatest warriors, Colonel George E. ``Bud'' 
Day, who passed away this past weekend.
  A veteran of three wars, a POW at the infamous Hanoi Hilton, and a 
Medal of Honor recipient, Colonel Day set the standard for service to 
country. A patriot in the truest sense of the word, Colonel Day never 
stopped working and looking out for his brothers in arms. After the 
military, he spent 40 years as an advocate for his fellow veterans.
  Colonel Day was a loving husband, a father, a grandfather, and 
someone I was honored and very humbled to represent here in Congress. 
Our community and countless others will miss his unwavering 
perseverance and optimism.
  Colonel Day's legacy will endure for years to come. I ask that we 
keep him and the entire Day family in our prayers.
