                       TRIBUTE TO TIM McALLISTER

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Tim McAllister, a 96-year-old veteran who served in World 
War II. Tim is currently the oldest veteran living in Judith Basin 
County.
  Tim is a humble man who speaks quietly about his military service. In 
fact, he spends more time reflecting on the service of his two 
brothers, both of whom were soldiers in the D-Day invasion at Normandy. 
Tim's military service took him to the South Pacific, where he was 
engaged in the liberation of the Philippines with the American Division 
in the region of Cebu City.
  Tim's impact on the community is pronounced. This past November, Tim 
wasn't able to attend the Veterans Day celebration at the local 
elementary school, and his presence was missed. Because of his absence, 
students in first and second grade at the school made a massive card to 
thank him for his service and delivered it to his home. This small act 
of kindness was very meaningful to Tim.
  Tim's roots in Montana run strong and deep. His father rode the range 
with the legendary Charlie M. Russell. Tim carried on those western 
values from his father and developed a love for ranching and horses. 
Tim truly understands and loves the Montana way of life.
  I am proud of Tim for his service to our country and his tremendous 
impact on his community. I am confident his legacy of service will live 
on for generations to come, and I am honored to recognize him 
today.
