  Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
distinguished life and distinguished career of 98 year-old Mr. Alfred 
Nyholm Larsen of Bellingham, Washington.
  Mr. Larsen is a World War II, U.S. Navy veteran who served in the 
United States, Europe and Asia.

largest volunteer efforts in the country for individuals 55 or older.
  He is a proud father of four and is spending his retirement in his 
home state of Washington.
  I would like to thank and recognize Mr. Larsen for his commitment to 
the state of Washington and his service to this country.
