                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 3, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Jacob Davis, Jr., of Pierce County, Georgia, for his 100th birthday on 
October 6.
  A lifelong resident of Georgia's First Congressional District, Jacob 
has devoted his life to his community and country.
  He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1943 and was stationed 
in Great Lakes, Illinois. He served as a fireman on an aircraft carrier 
that performed test flights for the military. After being discharged 
from the military in December of 1945, Jacob returned to his family 
farm and married the love of his life, Jenny Henderson.
  Over Jacob's lifetime of farming, he has accumulated over one 
thousand acres of farmland. To this day, he continues his work on his 
pecan orchard. If the sun is shining, Jacob can be found outside 
working.
  Although he has worked hard his entire life, Jacob was, and still is, 
a devoted and loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
  I am proud to rise today to recognize Jacob's birthday and his 
lifetime of service and leadership to Georgia's First Congressional 
District.
