CELEBRATING CORPUS CHRISTI ARMY DEPOT'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY
(Mr. CLOUD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Corpus Christi
Army Depot, which celebrates its 60th anniversary today.
CCAD is the premier rotary-winged helicopter repair and maintenance
facility for the U.S. Army.
Like a battle-hardened soldier, CCAD remains strong, committed, and
dedicated to answering the Nation's call and keeping the Army flag
flying.
The freedom and security that Americans enjoy today are a direct
result of the hard work and continuing commitment of CCAD to the
mission given by the U.S. Army.
Thousands of military, civilian, and contractor employees have walked
the halls, worked in the hangars, turned the wrenches, flown the
aircraft, and dedicated themselves to the operation that began in 1961.
The community leaders and citizens of Corpus Christi, Texas,
recognize and appreciate the service of all personnel of CCAD, past and
present.
We salute this great organization's unending mission. I wish the
Corpus Christi Army Depot a happy 60th birthday today.
