  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, on November 22, Louis Brinner, a World War II 
veteran from Mississippi, will celebrate his 100th birthday.
  Mr. Brinner served in the United States Army as a private first-class 
with the 645th MP Company. After enlisting at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, 
on May 8, 1941, he fought alongside Allied troops in Italy, which were 
successful in liberating Italian cities such as Rome and Naples in the 
Rome-Arno campaign.
  For his service, Mr. Brinner earned decorations, including the 
American Defense Service Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern 
Campaign Medal, and a Good Conduct Medal.
  Mr. Brinner was discharged from the Army on October 16, 1945, after 
more than 4 years of honorable service to the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Mr. Brinner for his dedicated 
service to our country and to wish Mr. Brinner the happiest of 
birthdays.
