                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Glover Manning's 100th birthday on November 6, 2016 and to share his 
amazing story.
  Born in 1916, Mr. Manning began serving his country in the U.S. Navy 
at the age of 19. During one of the most infamous days in American 
history, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mr. Manning was aboard the USS 
Rigel. Mr. Manning and his vessel then went on to play an important 
role in many operations in the Pacific. After 20 years serving his 
country in the Navy, he retired and subsequently moved to Savannah, 
Georgia.
  Mr. Manning has 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, 
and 5 great-great grandchildren.
  Mr. Manning, thank you for your service to our country and I hope you 
have a very happy 100th birthday.

                          ____________________
