                       HONORING HOUSTON PRITCHETT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 30, 2022

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I want to recognize Houston 
Pritchett, a veteran of World War II and long-time resident of Detroit 
in Michigan's 13th District Strong, as his accomplishments are 
recognized by the Veterans Administration.
  In 1944, Mr. Pritchett served in the Philippines and was assigned to 
be a motor mechanic, ``I was supposed to be a motor mechanic, and I 
couldn't even drive,'' he said.
  By the time the war was over, Houston could drive. He came home to 
Detroit and went to work for Ford. When Pritchett was about 80, he went 
to a seniors' gathering.
  Please join me in recognizing Houston Pritchett's outstanding 
contributions to the communities of Detroit and Michigan's 13th 
District Strong.
