  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Langhorne 
Borough's Mayor Chris Blaydon on a long career of public service. Mayor 
Chris Blaydon and his wife, Mary, have lived in Bucks County for 50 
years. In that time, he has helped shape the community as a volunteer, 
borough councilman, mayor, and 30-year member of the borough Shadetree 
Commission. We sincerely commend him for his honorable service to our 
community as well as to our Nation as a U.S. Air Force pilot and later, 
as a Pan America pilot. Because of his appreciation for the historical 
significance of Bucks County, for the last 37 years, he has 
participated in the re-enactment of Gen. George Washington's crossing 
of the Delaware River on December 26, 1776 during the Battle of 
Trenton. Therefore, as Chris Blaydon concludes his mayoral career, we 
thank and wish him good health and many new adventures.
