                   CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF BUD STACK

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
life of Bud Stack, a decorated military veteran, loving father, and 
servant to his community.
  A native of North Carolina, Bud joined the U.S. Navy, where he became 
a career pilot and officer and graduated from George Washington 
University. He served in Vietnam as an A-6 pilot based on an aircraft 
carrier and received many military honors for his service.
  After retiring from the U.S. Navy, he worked with Grumman 
Aeronautics, Saudi Arabia Civil Air Safety, and later returned to 
Savannah with Gulfstream and FlightSafety International.
  Always dedicated to his family, Bud made frequent trips to Brazil, 
where his sons lived and grew up.
  Bud shared his love for Christ with stints in the nursery and as a 
Sunday school teacher at Bull Street Baptist Church. He also assisted 
in the college ministry, as well as ministering through meals to the 
elderly. He participated in several mission trips, with one to Israel 
being particularly special.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Bud will be 
dearly missed by all who knew him.
