                        HONORING MILLIE MARSHALL

                                 ______

  Mr. BUCSHON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of 
Millie Marshall as she retires after 28 years with Toyota. I've had the 
privilege of getting to know Millie over the past three years that she 
has served as plant President for Toyota's manufacturing facility in 
Princeton, Indiana, which is located in the Eighth District of Indiana. 
I have appreciated Millie's efforts to work with me and to keep me 
updated about the exciting things and new investments taking place at 
the plant. During her time as president, the plant has experienced 
significant growth, which has in turn grown jobs and the economy in 
Southwest Indiana.
  Millie has been an outstanding leader who is well known for her 
unwavering commitment to mentoring and sponsoring women in the STEM 
fields. As the first female president in Toyota's history and recipient 
of several Women in Leadership awards, she helped pave the way for 
other female leaders, not only at Toyota but across Indiana and the 
nation. I will miss working with Millie, and I wish her all the best as 
she begins this next phase of her life.

                           HON. MARK E. GREEN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 18, 2019

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and service of a great American hero, James ``Shimmie'' Coakley.
  Mr. Coakley was born on March 15, 1920 and raised in Houston County, 
Tennessee. He married Mildred Clark Coakley in 1940, and they remained 
together for the next 73 years and 9 months until her passing.
  Mr. Coakley was drafted in December of 1944, and he fought in France 
and Germany as part of the 143rd Infantry Regiment, 36th Division under 
General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Coakley was honorably discharged from 
the Army as corporal in 1946 with a combat wound from shrapnel.
  After surviving a ten day journey back across the Atlantic through a 
hurricane, Mr. Coakley began a longtime career back in Tennessee with 
the Meriwether Lewis Electric Company, where he served for 33 years. In 
retirement, he enjoys spending time with family and visiting the 
residents of Signature Healthcare of Erin, TN.
  Mr. Coakley currently holds the distinction of being the oldest 
living WWII veteran in Houston County. I ask my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Mr. 
James Coakley on his induction into the Signature Healthcare Hall of 
Fame.
