            HONORING THE LIFE OF COLONEL EDWARD IRWIN WEXLER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor the life of Colonel Edward Wexler, of Savannah, Georgia, who 
passed away on June 30 at the age of 75.
  Colonel Wexler was a Savannah native who lived a truly remarkable 
life. After graduating from The Citadel, he was commissioned as a 
second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Colonel Wexler 
traveled the world with the United States Air Force, serving in many 
different countries. He retired from the Air National Guard in 2006, 
having over 35 years of service.
  Following retirement, Colonel Wexler continued to serve his 
community. He became director of the Combined Federal Campaign for 
Coastal Georgia, president of the Savannah Military Officers 
Association, and junior vice commander of the Veterans Council of 
Chatham County.
  Colonel Wexler's dedication to improving the lives of others will 
never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with Colonel Wexler's 
family, friends, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
