  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Mr. Leonard Peevy. Mr. Peevy has been a dedicated 
member of American Legion Post No. 79 for 60 years.
  Leonard Peevy is an Alabama Army National Guard Veteran who has 
served our country through three tours. These tours took him to the 
Korean War and Berlin. He joined the American Legion after returning 
for war, and he has served the American Legion in numerous capacities. 
He has served on local, district and state levels. Mr. Peevy served as 
the state commander of the American Legion in 1993. He was also awarded 
a certificate from the national American Legion for his dedication over 
the past 60 years.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Mr. Leonard Peevy for his 
tireless dedication to serving our nation's Veterans. His service to 
our state and country is an inspiration.
