                        Thursday, April 25, 2019

  Mr. BEYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in celebrating the exemplary life of Mr. 
Charles ``Chuck'' Corjay.
  Mr. Corjay was born in 1932 in Springfield, MA to John and Helen 
Solenski as the youngest of three sons. He served in the U.S. Air Force 
for over seven years, including during the Korean War. Mr. Corjay later 
dedicated his life to helping others pursue an education. As a lifetime 
member of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association 
he was the first recipient of the NoVa AFCEAN of the Year Award, now 
known as ``The Corjay Award'', for raising over $10 million in STEM 
scholarships and financial assistance for veterans.
  Mr. Corjay also forged a lifelong career in Information Technology. 
As the Senior Vice President of DoD Strategy with CACI International 
Inc., he built successful relationships at senior levels within the 
Department of Defense. In 2007, he was named to Federal Computer Week's 
Federal 100 list of IT leaders.
  Mr. Corjay passed away peacefully on March 17, 2019 and is survived 
by his wife Diane and his daughter Marcy. He was known as a friend, 
mentor, and coach to all, and his spirit and character are reflected in 
his vast network of friends.
  Madam Speaker, I extend my deep condolences to Mr. Corjay's family 
and friends and ask that you join me in recognizing his life and 
legacy.
