                    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DONALD KELLER

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to salute and pay tribute to a 
member of the Greatest Generation in celebration of his 100th birthday. 
Donald Keller is a World War II veteran who has lived in Strasburg, 
Virginia, for almost his whole life.
  At 21, Keller joined the Army as a radio operator, and he served in 
the military for almost 2 years from 1943 to 1945. During his 
deployment, he was awarded two Purple Hearts, one after being wounded 
in Normandy and the other when he was injured in Luxembourg during the 
Battle of the Bulge. Keller later received the French Legion of Honor 
for carrying two injured soldiers to safety while he himself was 
injured.
  After Keller fought in the war, he returned to Strasburg where he 
served the city by opening his own radio repair company.

  The Sixth District thanks Donald Keller for his service and 
contributions to the city of Strasburg.
  His commitment to the city is clearly shown by the community's 
commitment to celebrate his 100th birthday.
  So, again, I thank him for his service, and I wish Donald Keller a 
very happy 100th birthday.
