                      SPIRIT OF SAVANNAH AIRCRAFT

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
partnership between the city of Savannah and the 165th Airlift Wing, 
symbolized by one of their aircrafts recently being named the ``Spirit 
of Savannah.''
  Commemorating the C-130 airplane with its new name on Tuesday, April 
9, the ceremony was a special occasion. It is now the only aircraft at 
the 165th that bears a unique designation and seal. I can't thank the 
members of the 165th Airlift Wing enough for their service.
  They have flown to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to assist 
with hurricane recovery efforts. Just a few weeks later, they flew to 
Iraq and Syria to support missions against ISIS.
  The work they do, based out of the First Congressional District of 
Georgia, helps keep our Nation and the entire world safe.
