  Mr. TED LIEU of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of James Kyu Lee--a loving husband, father, and grandfather--
who passed away on May 29, 2017.
  James was born in 1932 in Buchon, South Korea where he attended Seoul 
Technical High School. Shortly after the start of the Korean War, James 
served valiantly in South Korea's Navy from 1950 to 1953. After the 
war, James studied at Hong Ik University where he received his bachelor 
of arts and went on to receive a law degree from Sung Kyun Kwan 
University. James went on to serve in the Korean Central Intelligence 
Agency from 1963 to 1978.
  In 1980, James immigrated to the United States where he studied and 
received his California Radiologic Technologist License. He worked at 
the Medical Clinic as an X-Ray Technician from 1981 to 2002.
  He retired in 2002 and enjoyed playing golf in his free time. He 
remained active in the Korean War Veterans Association and the Korean 
Navy Veteran Association.
  James is survived by his wife, Nan Ja Lee, his three children, Janice 
Jong Hyun Lee, Chris Hoon Lee, and Brad Hyuck Lee, and seven 
grandchildren, Alex Lee, Kate Lee, William Lee, Austin Lee, Aaron Lee, 
Brandon Lee, and Donovan Lee. Three children are happily married. 
Janice Jong Hyun Lee is married to Jay Lee, Chris Hoon Lee is married 
to Judy Lee, and Brad Hyuck Lee is married to Julie Lee.
  I hope his family can rest knowing James lived a full and happy life. 
I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing James Kyu Lee's amazing 
life.
