  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Browns Mills, New Jersey resident Gordon Charles Lampitt.
  Gordon Charles Lampitt was a Bronx, New York native, but has called 
Browns Mills home since 1958. Gordon dedicated his life to his family 
and his country.
  Command Sergeant Major Gordon Lampitt retired with 28 years in the 
United States Army. He was a decorated Army Veteran and served in the 
Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He served three 
tours in the Second World War, three tours in the Korean War, and two 
tours in the Vietnam War. There were only 171,000 total service men and 
women who served in all three of those wars, out of the millions of 
American service members who served in each of them.
  After Gordon retired from the United States Army his commitment to 
serving his country did not stop there. Gordon worked for 15 years in 
property management at Fort Dix. He was a member of St. Ann's Church, 
Browns Mills, and the Browns Mills Memorial VFW Post 6805. He was also 
a life member of the Bass Masters and an avid fisherman.
  Gordon was a loving husband to his late wife Rose Lampitt for 71 
years. Gordon was a beloved father of Margaret R. Long and husband 
William, Charles Lampitt and his wife Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, 
Susan L. Veres and husband Michael, Elizabeth Stelljes and husband 
Scott, and Phillip Lampitt and wife Christa. He was also a loving 
grandfather of ten and a loving great grandfather of six.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Command Sergeant 
Major Gordon Charles Lampitt, of Browns Mills, New Jersey, for his 
unwavering commitment to serving our country over the course of his 
lifetime. His remarkable dedication to this country, exemplified by his 
service in three wars is the ultimate testament of his patriotism and 
courage.
