  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a very special man, Mr. Billie

  Mr. Bailey has always loved his country. He was honored to serve when 
drafted into the United States Army in 1952, during the Korean War. 
Following training at Camp Breckenridge, Mr. Bailey was deployed to 
Stuttgart, Germany where he served in the 29th Transportation Company. 
He was honorably discharged in 1954 and remained in the Reserves until 
1960.
  Mr. Bailey returned to Bath County following his service. He and his 
wife Emma Lea married in 1954. They have three children. Mr. Bailey 
operated a dairy and crop farm for 52 years. He has been described as a 
dedicated follower of Christ and a pillar in the community.
  Mr. Bailey and his fellow men and women of the United States military 
answered the call to serve our great nation. America is forever 
grateful and appreciative of the service of Mr. Bailey and all our 
patriots. I am honored to recognize Mr. Billie Paul Bailey before the 
United States House of Representatives.
