                 REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF MR. TOM WRIGHT

  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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life of Mr. Tom Wright, who passed away on January 3 at the age of 76.
  Mr. Wright dedicated his life to serving both his country and his 
local community. He served for 21 years as a commander in the United 
States Navy, including one tour in Vietnam. After his retirement, he 
continued his work supporting veterans' groups in the local Savannah 
area. Mr. Wright also dedicated a great deal of his time and efforts to 
the civilian maritime community in Savannah, including the Savannah 
Propeller Club and the Savannah Maritime Association.
  A family man through and through, he could often be found watching 
North Carolina Tar Heel basketball with his family.
  His presence will be deeply missed throughout our area. Mr. Wright's 
family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers during this most 
difficult time.
