                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 22, 2016

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my congratulations 
to Lionel Leblanc in celebration of reaching his 91st birthday.
   As he reflects on the great memories that have highlighted the past 
ninety-one years, I know he will think fondly on all that he's 
accomplished and the positive impact he's had on New Hampshire.
   Mr. Leblanc is an ardent patriot who proudly served his country with 
the Army Air Corps during World War II. As a member of the greatest 
generation he continued to serve his country for 38 years in what would 
later become the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a Master Sergeant and 
specialist in Weapons Systems Maintenance. Once separated from the Air 
Force, Lionel continued to serve his fellow veterans as a Commander of 
the Veterans of Foreign Wars and remains to this day a strong supporter 
of numerous veterans groups and charities in the state. His dedication 
to his fellow veterans has not been forgotten and I know they all join 
with me in wishing him a very happy birthday.
   It is with great admiration that I congratulate Mr. Leblanc on 
achieving this wonderful milestone, and wish him the best on all future 
endeavors.
