                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 12, 2022

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize Robert 
E. Salzman. A lifelong resident or the Menominee area, Robert Salzman 
was a retired U.S. Army Veteran of World War II and served a remarkable 
44-year career with the L.E. Jones Company. His passing at the age of 
99 on September 6. 2022, has greatly affected the communities of the 
Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the impact of his life cannot be 
overstated.
  Robert Salzman lived a life of commitment to his community and his 
peers. First starting his time with the L.E. Jones Company in 1942, 
Robert soon enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943, where he was assigned to 
the 602nd Army Engineers Battalion in Europe. Shortly after his 
military career, he returned to the L.E. Jones Company. During his 44-
year career, Salzman worked as a machinist in the company's engineering 
department, and later served in the sales department until his 
retirement in 1986. Continually contributing to the company, he served 
a pivotal role in the company's success and longevity. Accompanying his 
achievements in his professional career and as a soldier, Robert was a 
respected and beloved father. His legacy lives on among his children, 
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Robert Salzman for his 
lifelong commitment to our country and his community. On behalf of 
Michigan's First District, I extend my condolences to Robert's family 
and wish them best in their future endeavors. Michigan's First District 
is saddened by the passing of Robert and offer our prayers to his 
family and friends.
