                         Thursday, May 29, 2014

  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. William H. ``Doc'' 
Long of Oak Ridge, North Carolina.
  Doc Long, a veteran who served under the command of General Patton in 
World War II, has for the last three years been a tireless promoter of 
the Carolina Field of Honor Memorial in Triad Park in Kernersville, 
North Carolina,
  Ground was broken for this memorial in November of last year, and the 
project is now complete. I will have the privilege of attending the 
unveiling of this important monument on Saturday.
  Mr. Speaker, it's our responsibility to ensure that our military 
remains strong and our veterans receive the care and benefits they have 
earned, but we should always take time to recognize those individuals 
in our communities who tirelessly work to ensure the sacrifices made on 
behalf of our nation are not forgotten. Doc Long is one such 
individual, I look forward to seeing him in Kernersville Saturday, and 
it's a privilege to recognize him in this House today.
