     HONORING MAJOR JOE BALOGH, RETIRED ARMY AIR CORPS BOMBER PILOT

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a true 
trailblazer in North Carolina's First Congressional District, retired 
United States Army Air Corps bomber pilot, Major Joe Balogh.
  Joe and I had a chance to chat in Franklin County, and this World War 
II hero, at the age of 102, shared countless stories of service with a 
vivid recollection of the detail.
  During our chat, Joe shared with me when his airplane was shot down. 
He also shared about witnessing soldiers paying the ultimate sacrifice. 
Joe will continue to be a beacon of hope for eastern North Carolina and 
America.
  Mr. Speaker, Joe's selfless service will ensure the freedom of future 
generations of North Carolinians and Americans.
  I thank and salute Joe and others like him across America.
