            RECOGNIZING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF NOAH DANIELS

                                 ______

  Mr. POSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of a true American patriot, Mr. Noah Daniels.
  Born during the post-Great War peace, Mr. Daniels lived a quiet life 
until World War II began. Wanting to serve, Mr. Daniels desired to join 
the military, but at his mother's direction, he entered tech school.
  For hands-on training, Mr. Daniels was sent to Ft. Knox where he 
later entered the civil service. This proved fortuitous, as Mr. Daniels 
was instrumental in preparing General Patton's tanks to secure a 
victory over Germany's feared Desert Fox, Rommel.
  Following his time at Ft. Knox, Mr. Daniels joined the Navy and then 
the Coast Guard, serving throughout North America and the Pacific on 
several ships, including the USS Ingham.
  Notably, during his time in the Coast Guard, Mr. Daniels designed the 
`chain stop' to help with servicing the marker buoys in inland 
waterways--a design later patented by the Coast Guard and used 
throughout the U.S. fleet. The ingenuity and work ethic necessary to 
create the chain stop led to Mr. Daniels' promotion to First Class 
Petty Officer.
  After completing his military service in 1964, Mr. Daniels moved to 
Central Florida where he and his family live today. Mr. Daniels is the 
proud father of former Congresswoman Sandy Adams, a good friend to 
Katie and I, who previously served in the Florida House of 
Representatives and the United States Air Force.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Noah Daniels, a man 
of renowned honor, courage, and patriotism as he approaches his 100th 
birthday on June 30, 2023. May his next trip around the sun be his best 
one yet.
  Happy birthday, my friend.
