                       Tuesday, December 15, 2020

  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Mr. Gilbert Carl Mays in honor of his 100th birthday. A distinguished 
man, Mr. Mays selflessly served our nation as a Navy pilot and flew two 
missions as a torpedo bomber in World War II.
  Mr. Mays has valiantly carried on the storied tradition of courage, 
service and faithfulness that characterizes our Armed Forces. A 
graduate of North Carolina State University, Mr. Mays has for decades 
remained an avid supporter of Wolfpack sports, an active member in his 
church and a leader in his local Kiwanis Club, receiving perfect 
attendance for many consecutive years. Mr. Mays even drove himself to 
the polls this past election to carry out his civic duty to our nation. 
His extraordinary commitment and dedication to his community serves as 
an example for us all. Mr. Mays has lived a life full of faith, service 
and we owe him our utmost gratitude and admiration.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the legacy of this 
incredible and selfless man and wishing Mr. Mays a happy 100th 
birthday.

                          ____________________
