  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, today, I would like to honor Peoria City 
Councilman,

[[Page E550]]

Eric Turner, for his twenty-four years of service to Peoria, Illinois.
  Councilman Turner will retire as the longest tenured member of the 
current Peoria City Council. In his service to the City Council, Eric 
Turner has truly worked to benefit all of Peoria as an At Large 
Councilman. His public service left a profound impact on our community.
  Outside of Turner's public service to Peoria, he served our nation 
proudly in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967, and he still plays a key role in 
coordinating Peoria's Memorial Day events held at our riverfront each 
year. Councilman Turner has left his mark on the business world, as 
well. He had a forty-one year career at Caterpillar Inc., working in 
marketing and human resources.
  I am grateful for Eric Turner's time and commitment to the City of 
Peoria. His work, as a public servant and private citizen, left a 
legacy in the Peoria community that will remain for generations to 
come.
