  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Harrison 
``Smitty'' Milton Smith, Jr., who passed away at the age of 83 years 
old on February 12, 2019.
  Harrison's service to our nation spans 20 years, including time in 
both the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force and active duty 
service overseas during the Vietnam War. After his military career, 
Smitty worked for the U.S. Postal Service and retired after 21 years. 
He was a member of the Fredericksburg Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) 
and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
  Harrison is survived by his wife Donna Lee Smith, five children, 
Elizabeth Terry Thompson and her husband Paul, Mike Smith, Don Smith 
and his wife Virginia, Rosie McCauley and her husband Dave, Harrison 
Smith III and his wife Melissa; one sister, Theresa Willis; 20 
grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in remembrance of Harrison 
``Smitty'' Milton Smith, Jr. Words alone cannot express our gratitude 
for his life of service. May God bless Smitty and his family during 
this difficult time.

                          ____________________
