  Mr. BARR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Gene Radin and 
Mrs. Peggy Radin of Jessamine County, Kentucky. Both Mr. and Mrs. Radin 
are honored veterans of our great nation.
  Mr. Radin joined the United States Coast Guard in 1948. He served for 
43 years and earned the rank of CWO4 prior to his retirement in 1991. 
Chief Petty Officer Peggy Radin served in the Coast Guard for 20 years. 
Between the two of them, they devoted 63 years of service to America.
  Following retirement from the Coast Guard, Mr. and Mrs. Radin began 
serving their fellow veterans by volunteering at the Thomson-Hood 
Veteran Center in Wilmore, Kentucky. Mr. Radin recently completed 25 
years of volunteer service. In addition, for many years Mr. Radin has 
placed American flags at the graves of Coast Guard servicemen and women 
at Camp Nelson National Cemetery on the Saturday before Memorial and 
Veterans Days.

  Mr. Radin turns 90 years old today, February 10. It is fitting to 
honor on this day such dedicated veterans and proud Americans as Mr. 
Gene Radin and his wife Mrs. Peggy Radin. They exemplify the American 
spirit and patriotic service that make this the greatest nation on 
earth. Mr. and Mrs. Radin are to be commended for their service both in 
the Coast Guard as well as to the veteran community in central 
Kentucky.
  It is my honor to acknowledge the lives of these great Americans, Mr. 
and Mrs. Gene Radin, before the United States Congress.
