                      Tuesday, September 28, 2021

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, l rise today to celebrate 
the life and service of Mr. Andrew Carter who recently celebrated his 
100th birthday. He is a member of the greatest generation, and I am 
very proud to have men like Mr. Carter representing the state of 
Mississippi.
  Mr. Carter is a native of Tippah county. He joined the U.S. Navy on 
May 17, 1944. He loves to tell stories of his time aboard the SS Felipe 
De Nerve, a French liner used to transport troops and supplies during 
heavy fighting. He survived and returned home to Mississippi. In 
December of 1946, Mr. Carter married Naomi Street. The couple had six 
children together.
  Mr. Carter currently resides in Ripley. He enjoys trips to the local 
coffee shop to spend time with his friends, mowing the lawn, and 
exercising. He is a natural storyteller and has no shortage of 
experience.
  I am so thankful for Mr. Carter's lifetime of service to this country 
and the state of Mississippi. I wish him many more years of good health 
and happiness.
