                         Tuesday, June 2, 2015

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a true American 
hero, a part of the greatest generation, Mr. Clarence Ewell Maze, of 
Owingsville, Kentucky. He is to be commended for his distinguished 
military service during World War II. Mr. Maze served our nation in the 
United States Army.
  Mr. Maze, like many other brave young Americans, left the comforts of 
home and family and answered the call for duty with the United States 
military. His service took him to the European Theater of Operations. 
He fought the German Army in Belgium, France, and Germany. He and his 
fellow soldiers endured harsh weather conditions, fatigue, hunger, and 
dangerous enemy fire as they ultimately defeated the Germans. He spent 
time at the end of the war in Munich, Germany.
  Following his service in World War II, Mr. Maze returned home to Bath 
County. He started his own business, a garage and body shop. For Mr. 
Maze, this was a fulfillment of the American dream. He has been married 
to Bernice since 1946. He has a daughter Regina and a late son Ricky. 
Mr. Maze has been a faithful attendee at Polksville First Church of God 
ever since returning from the war.
  Mr. Maze is a true patriot, a good family man, and a servant of the 
Lord. Because of his courage and the courage of other brave young 
people from Owingsville and from all across our great nation, our 
freedoms have been saved for our generation and for future generations. 
He is truly an outstanding American, a brave patriot, and a hero to us 
all.
