                        IN HONOR OF W.S. EVERETT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2019

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
service of Wilson Spencer ``W.S.'' Everett of Glasgow, Kentucky. Mr. 
Everett was a proud patriot throughout his life, serving in the 
Kentucky National Guard and the United States Army during the Korean 
War.
  For the last 30 years, Mr. Everett dedicated his time to honor the 
legacies of his fellow soldiers, whether through his involvement with 
the Glasgow chapter of the Disabled American Veterans, or his regular 
participation with the Chapter 20 Color Guard. Mr. Everett also 
designed two memorials in my district: the Hiseville Veterans Memorial 
and the Glasgow-Barren County Veterans Wall of Honor. His dedication to 
this endeavor was so great that even in his final days, Mr. Everett 
went to the Wall of Honor to install the final veteran's title.
  Today, I join with Mr. Everett's family in remembering the legacy 
that he left behind. He is truly an American patriot that strived to 
live his life in honor of each fold of the flag and I am grateful for 
his service not only to the country, but also to his community.
