                      JACOB DAVIS, JR., TURNS 100

  (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 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 his 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 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 1,000 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 continues 
to be, 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.
