                    REMEMBERING JERRY MARSHALL GILL

  (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 the 
life of a valued member of the Savannah community, Jerry Marshall Gill.
  Jerry was born in Bogalusa, Louisiana, in 1931. He and his family 
moved to Savannah when he was at the young age of 5.
  Once in Savannah, Jerry attended Commercial High School, where he 
stood out immediately as a gifted basketball player.
  From Commercial High, Jerry proceeded to Armstrong Junior College 
before answering the call to join the United States Marine Corps. Jerry 
was called to Active Duty in 1950 and served in the Korean war.
  Back home, he was a volunteer for the Georgia Affiliates Federal 
Credit Unions for over 42 years, where he received ``Volunteer of the 
Year,'' the ``Lifetime Achievement Award,'' and the ``Credit Union 
House Hall of Leaders Award,'' which is displayed here in D.C. in the 
D.C. Credit Union House.
  After retirement, Jerry worked with the Georgia Affiliates Credit 
Union for another 12 years.
  Jerry's life of service was further demonstrated in his commitment to 
his fellow veterans. He volunteered with the USO and was a member of 
the Veterans Council League for many years.
  We will all dearly miss Jerry, his wisdom, and his service.
