                       Tuesday, November 12, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask for the 
House's attention today to recognize Forrest Stanley Jenkins who 
celebrated his 90th birthday on Sunday, August 25th, 2013.
  Mr. Jenkins was born on August 25th, 1923 to John Veitch Jenkins and 
Velma Elizabeth Miller. He graduated from Sidney Lanier High School in 
Montgomery before beginning active duty in the United States Air Force 
in 1943. That year he married Ethel ``Jinx'' Barry Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins 
served on B-17s, B-24s and C-47s. He completed a number of overseas 
assignments before retiring from the Air Force in 1967.
  On August 24th and 25th, Stan joined friends and family in Rosemary 
Beach, Florida, to celebrate 90 years of dedication to his family and 
his country. His children, Stan, Jill and Jennifer, their spouses, 
grandchildren and great grandchildren celebrated a life of what is 
rightly called our greatest generation.
  Mr. Speaker, we join his family and friends in celebrating Stan's 
birthday and wishing him many more.
