                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 25, 2019

  Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Curtis Haven 
Kincaid, a Victoria resident and World War II Army veteran.
  Curtis Haven Kincaid, born on November 6, 1921, in Hudson, Michigan, 
passed away on January 29, 2019, at the age of 97.
  In December 1939, Mr. Kincaid enlisted in the U.S. Army. After the 
attack on Pearl Harbor, Mr. Kincaid was assigned to the 38th Division 
150th Infantry Force, also known as the ``Cyclone Division.'' His unit 
was the first U.S. Army combat forces deployed overseas after December 
7.
  Mr. Kincaid was deployed to Europe in June 1944 and fought 
courageously in the Combat Infantry through France, Belgium, and into 
Germany, where he remained until Nazi Germany's defeat. He was 
honorably discharged in December 1945 with the rank of Sergeant.
  After his Army service, Mr. Kincaid left for Texas and served as the 
Victoria representative for the Snap-On Tool Corporation from 1954 to 
1998. He received recognition for setting national sales records during 
his 44 years of hard work with Snap-On.
  I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Kincaid family 
and express appreciation for his service to our community and 
sacrifices for our country.
