                        Tuesday, August 30, 2022

  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the life of Mr. Daniel Reese Grime. Mr. Grime was born on March 31, 
1930, and graduated high school in Monaca, Pennsylvania, where he 
lettered in football and worked at the St. Joe Minerals Corporation 
steel mill.
  Mr. Grime enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1952, where he went through 
basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and 
completed the Sea School course at Norfolk Naval Base in Portsmouth, 
VA. It was at Norfolk Naval Base where Mr. Grime prepared for his duty 
aboard the USS New Jersey. He was soon promoted to Corporal and given 
the task to man the 16" and 5" guns aboard the prestigious battleship 
BB-62. While aboard the USS New Jersey, Mr. Grime was a part of one of 
the most famous battleships involved in the Korean War. The USS New 
Jersey took part in numerous engagements providing Naval gunfire 
support, which played a crucial role in disrupting enemy supply lines.
  Mr. Grime would spend a total of six years in the Marines, including 
several years in the Marine Corps Reserves. Mr. Grime would go on to 
marry his loving wife, Janet, who he met while on leave in Washington, 
D.C. Together they raised four children. Mr. Grime would eventually 
return to work at the St. Joe Minerals Corporation steel mill and 
served as a volunteer fireman and as a volunteer at his local school 
system. He passed away on June 3, 2022, as a proud Marine and proud 
citizen of the United States.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in remembering the life and 
memory of Mr. Daniel Reese Grime and all he has done for our beloved 
country.
