  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I'm honored to congratulate Leroy Krebs on 
the occasion of his 100th Birthday, and for his years of service to the 
American Legion, the Susquehannock High School, the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania, and the United States of America.
  Mr. Krebs was born on June 17, 1920, in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania. He 
served in the United States Army Air Corps from December 1, 1942 to 
February 2, 1946, as a bombardier instructor for B-24 Bombers. He left 
active service at the rank of First Lieutenant, after earning the 
American Theater Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. He served 
with the 2519th Base Unit in Ft Worth, Texas, and remained in the 
United States Air Force Reserve until he retired as a Lieutenant 
Colonel upon 38 years of uniformed service.
  He graduated from Temple University, and taught and coached 
basketball at Glen Rock (now Susquehannock) High School. He later 
became the school principal, and for 14 years worked at the School 
until retiring in 1978.
  In addition to Leroy's military service, teaching, coaching and 
serving as principal, Leroy was a Master of the Shrewsbury Masonic 
Lodge and an active member and former commander of Austin Grove Post 
455 of the American Legion. Leroy also was a proud member of the Glen 
Rock Carolers for 35 years.
  Today, Leroy lives independently at Normandie Ridge retirement 
community.
  I'm truly honored and humbled to congratulate Mr. Leroy Krebs on 
turning 100 Years Young, and for his tireless, selfless, dedicated, and 
distinguished service to the American Legion, Susquehannock High 
School, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the United States of 
America.
