              IN MEMORY OF THE LIFE OF JOEL CARTER DENNEY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 25, 2018

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
celebrate the life of Joel Carter Denney. Joel passed away on Sunday, 
August 13, 2017.
  Joel served in the United States Army for 26 years and retired as a 
well-decorated Colonel in 1993. After retirement, Joel spent his days 
serving others as Chairperson for Alabama Honor Flight, President of 
Habitat for Humanity, Co-chair of the Calhoun County Chamber Military 
and Security Affairs Committee, Member of the Alabama Job Creation & 
Military Stability Commission, Member of Berman Foundation Board and 
Museum and a volunteer with Carpenters for Christ.
  During his time in the Army, Joel served in Korea, Vietnam, Germany, 
Fort Benning, Fort Hood, Fort Carson, Fort Riley, Anniston Army Depot 
and Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
  I knew Joel for many years and can honestly say he spent his life 
serving others--especially the work he did with the Alabama Honor 
Flight. His leadership and presence are certainly missed in Calhoun 
County.
  Joel will be laid to rest on June 27, 2018 at Arlington National 
Cemetery.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in remembering Joel Denney and 
celebrating a life well-lived.
