                        Friday, October 26, 2018

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solemn remembrance of the 
life of Captain Sidney Edwin ``Ed'' Veazey, a retired Navy veteran, 
husband, father, and grandfather from King George, Virginia. Ed Veazey 
admirably served in the U.S. Navy and will be remembered for his 
selfless devotion to his community.
  Captain Veazey was born in September 1937 in Wilmington, North 
Carolina and after receiving his early education there and at Andover 
Academy, Massachusetts; he studied engineering at the United States 
Naval Academy and earned a PhD from Duke University in physics. Captain 
Veazey excelled aboard submarines for seven years during the Cold War 
and converted to submarine engineering duty. As an engineering duty 
officer, he served at the Naval Ship Engineering Center, Chief of Naval 
Development, Naval Intelligence Center, Naval Surface Warfare Center, 
and United States Naval Academy. Captain Veazey retired after 24 years 
of honorable service.
  Following naval service, he worked within industry supporting the 
Navy, and as an entrepreneur and developer. He held 19 patents. A 
vibrant member of the civic community, he served as President of the 
King George Chamber of Commerce, founding member of the County 
Historical Society, and members of the Lions Club and Military Officers 
Association of America.
  Ed Veazey is survived by his wife Joy; sons Ted and Warren; daughters 
Karen and Ginger; daughters-in-law Kristin and Jenna; sons-in-law 
Joseph and Wes; and ten grandchildren. I extend my deepest condolences 
to his family members and anyone who had the privilege of knowing this 
fine gentleman. He was a very loved man whose service both to his 
community and our Nation, will be dearly missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I implore you and my colleagues to join me as we honor 
the memory of Captain Ed Veazey.
