  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Roger Holmes, who is 
celebrating his 100th birthday today. This remarkable milestone gives 
us the opportunity to recognize Mr. Holmes' contributions to his 
community and his country.
   Mr. Holmes a veteran of World War Two, served as a Tech Sergeant and 
Section Chief of Ordinance Cadre in the 9th Airforce Division in 
Holland, France, and England between 1942 and 1944. His service in 
World War II helped preserve the great freedoms that we enjoy today.
   I want to express my gratitude for Mr. Holmes' dedication to the 
community of Whitehall. He retired as the U.S. Postmaster after working 
for the local post office for almost thirty years. Mr. Holmes and his 
wife Edna will celebrate their 68th wedding anniversary in July. It is 
leaders like him who sustain the character and integrity of our 
communities.
   Mr. Holmes' contributions to his country leave us in his debt.
