                         HON. DIANA HARSHBARGER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 27, 2023

  Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent 
E-4 Corporal Kyle E. Price of Elizabethton, Tennessee, who I had the 
privilege to meet at our Carter County Pin Ceremony.
  Cpl. Price says he became both ``a man and a lifelong Marine'' in 
March of 1970, after he graduated from Boot Camp at Paris Island. Cpl. 
Price specialized as a machine gunner where he wielded an M60 squad 
automatic weapon, nicknamed ``The Pig'' due to its sheer size, and 
carried 200 linked rounds of ammunition every single day in defense of 
our Nation and freedoms. His duty stations included Camp Geiger (NC), 
Sea School Norfolk Naval Shipyard (VA), Hue and Da Nang (Vietnam), 
Marine Barracks Alameda Naval Air Station (CA), and the Marine Barrack 
Subic Bay Naval Base, Olangapo (Philippines).
  He was also assigned security duties aboard the USS Enterprise CVAN-
65, the first nuclear-powered ship to engage in combat, when she 
launched aircraft against the Viet Cong. His lifelong status as a 
Marine has continued far beyond active duty as a member of The Tri-
Cities Detachment of the Marine Corps League (Gray), where he served as 
Commandant.
  He is also a life member of VFW Post 2166 (Elizabethton), American 
Legion Post 24 (Johnson City) and an officer of the Military Order of 
the Devil Dogs Pound 300 TN Pack, the Honor Society of the Marine Corps 
League.
