  Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Madam Speaker, I rise with immense pride to 
celebrate the 91st birthday of my grandfather, Gerald L. Potter Sr.
  Gerald is a resident of Allegheny Township in Westmoreland County, 
Pennsylvania. As a veteran, Gerald served in the United States Air 
Force and as a reservist at the 911th Airlift Wing in southwestern 
Pennsylvania. During his military service, he met his wife of fifty 
years, my grandmother Eleen M. Potter, a lieutenant in the Air Force 
Nursing Corps. Continuing his dedication to service, Gerald attended 
the West Penn Hospital School of Nursing and graduated in their first 
male class. My grandfather's service and mentorship played a critical 
role throughout my childhood, during my service in the United States 
Navy, and his example continues to guide my work on behalf of 
Pennsylvania's 14th Congressional District.
  Madam Speaker, Gerald L. Potter Sr. has lived a life of distinction 
and remains an incredible presence in my life, our family and friends, 
and his community. It is with great joy that I wish him a happy 91st 
birthday.
