                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Justin Tyler White of 
Lexington, Kentucky who is stepping down as my District Director to 
take on a new role as the President of the Kentucky Coal Association. 
Tyler served our nation proudly as a member of the United States Marine 
Corps. He was deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan. On behalf of a 
grateful nation, I thank him for his service and patriotism.
  After eight years of service, Mr. White returned to Kentucky. He had 
great passion for his fellow veterans and was determined to improve the 
services provided by the Veterans Administration. He came to work in 
the Sixth Congressional District office, serving as a field 
representative and then as District Director. In his work in the 
district office, Mr. White continued to advocate for veterans. He 
organized a Veterans Coalition that meets regularly and has grown 
tremendously. He led the way on many successful programs and projects 
directed at improving the lives of America's veterans.
  The leadership skills that Tyler learned in the Marine Corps carried 
over into private life. He built a strong team in the district office 
and served as a motivating and inspiring leader. He tirelessly served 
the people of the Sixth Congressional District. He leaves a lasting 
legacy as a servant leader.
  I am honored to call Tyler White a loyal and trusted friend. I wish 
him all the best as he leaves to take on a new opportunity. Thank you 
to Tyler White for his friendship, his tireless work on behalf of the 
people of the Sixth District, and his outstanding service to our 
country.
