  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Jimmy Ray of Chatham County for being recognized as Veteran of the Year 
by the Veterans Council of Chatham County.
  Georgia's First Congressional District is home to many of our 
nation's veterans, so being recognized as veteran of the year is an 
incredible honor.

  With this title, Jimmy will represent the Veterans Council at various 
events throughout the year.
  Jimmy is a past commander of the American Legion Chatham Post 36, 
which is an organization dedicated to advocating for patriotism across 
the United States.
  Among his many lifetime achievements, he helped spearhead the 
fundraising and construction of the World War II Memorial on River 
Street in Savannah.
  He has also been an active member of the Savannah St. Patrick's Day 
Parade Committee for 35 years, and was even the 2013 parade Grand 
Marshal.
  I can't thank Jimmy enough for his outstanding service to our nation 
throughout his life, and I congratulate him again on this wonderful 
accomplishment.
