                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Thomas O. Boorman, 
a man who dedicated much of his life to serving others. Thomas spent 
four years serving on a mine sweeper in the Navy. He went on to serve 
for twenty-six years in the United States Air Force, flying over five 
hundred missions in a B-52.
  Upon his retirement from military service, Thomas felt the call to 
continue serving his community. He first joined the Placer County 
Sheriffs office and then worked as a control officer at Folsom State 
Prison.
  Thomas Boorman was an avid sportsman and adventurist and a devoted 
supporter of the Second Amendment. He would speak openly about his love 
for his country, his community and the unique freedoms that Americans 
enjoy. His commitment to our freedoms was consistently illustrated by 
his lifetime of military and public service. Please join me in honoring 
Thomas Boorman, a man of lifelong service who will be sorely missed by 
so many.
