  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of the late Ed McBride, a United States Navy World War II veteran who 
proudly served our nation aboard the USS Martin and the USS Athene.
  After his service to our country, Mr. McBride became a self-employed 
contractor for 45 years and worked at the former New York Shipyard in 
Camden, New Jersey and Sun Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  Mr. McBride's commitment to our nation and community continued long 
after his active duty service in the U.S. Navy.
  Mr. McBride was also a life member of the Berlin, New Jersey Veterans 
of Foreign Wars and a member of American Legion Post 311 in Atco, New 
Jersey.
  Mr. McBride served his community for 22 years as a member of the 
Camden County Fire Police, was a life member of the Tansboro Fire 
Company, held the post of civil defense director for the Township of 
Winslow, and was past president and member of the Berlin, New Jersey 
Lions Club.
  In addition to his volunteer endeavors, Ed McBride enjoyed a number 
of hobbies and activities including: cabinetry, camping, golfing and 
fishing.
  Mr. Speaker, Ed McBride was an exemplary citizen with a devotion to 
public service, commitment, and hard work. I invite you to join me in 
honoring the memory of this great man.
