                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 27, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize retired 
aviator Major Warren Schwab for his distinguished military service and 
for recently celebrating his 102nd birthday. Flying B-24 Liberators 
during World War II, Warren valiantly took part in over 20 missions 
during the largest and deadliest global conflict in history. Upon its 
conclusion in 1945, he continued his military career by serving in both 
the Korean War and Vietnam. Warren's commitment to the state of 
Michigan and to the defense of our Nation has been unwavering and 
serves as an inspiration to many.
  Born in 1921, Major Schwab grew up during the Great Depression and 
enlisted in the military shortly thereafter. Upon entry into our armed 
forces, Warren demonstrated exemplary tact and bravery in every mission 
he was part of. Notably, he led the way on June 6, 1944, by conducting 
morning bomb raids on enemy positions across the Normandy Coast and 
Munich. His unparalleled gallantry and commitment to his peers is 
undeniable and worthy of recognition.
  Major Warren Schwab is a living testament to all who have sacrificed 
in service to our country. Surviving one of World War II's most 
dangerous positions with some of the highest mortality rates of all 
enlisted personnel in the war, Major Schwab chose to continue his 
service to our country and his community. His recent 102nd birthday on 
February 24th prompts all residents of Michigan's First District to 
cherish and thank those servicemembers who reflect Mr. Schwab's caliber 
of devotion and sacrifice. We are blessed as a Nation to have Veterans 
like Major Warren Schwab.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Major Warren Schwab for his 
service in the U.S. Armed Forces and for his 102nd birthday, celebrated 
on February 24, 2023. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I extend 
our utmost respect and gratitude to Major Schwab for his military 
service, and our congratulations for his recent birthday. I would also 
like to extend my best wishes to him and his family in their future 
endeavors.
