  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Carlos Chairez for his 
exceptional service to his community and his country.
  Mr. Chairez valiantly served his country during World War II as a 
Private First Class in the United States Army. Mr. Chairez served in 
the European Theater of war as a member of General Patton's Third Army, 
Fourth Armored Division. As the war came to a close, his division was 
converted into the peacekeeping constabulary force. With great 
confidence and great strength, Mr. Chairez helped create victory and a 
better world.
  Mr. Chairez embraced his country in a time of great need. He went 
into a perilous domain and fought to preserve democracy and install 
freedom. He helped to bring peace to a region torn apart by the ravages 
of war.
  Mr. Chairez has been happily married for almost 70 years to his wife 
Margarita, has 4 children, and 7 grandchildren. His love for his family 
and country is unparalleled and I deeply admire his dedication, 
charisma, and willpower. He is an outstanding role model for us all. I 
am honored and privileged to thank such an extraordinary man. I hope he 
continues to be a reminder to us all to never forget no sacrifice is 
too great or small.
