                 RECOGNIZING MR. EARL D. McMILLAN, SR.

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUS M. BILIRAKIS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 25, 2023

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent 
of mine and Vietnam Veteran, Earl D. McMillan, Sr.
  Today, Mr. McMillan will be rightfully celebrated when he receives an 
honorary diploma at Citrus County High School. Earl had previously 
earned his diploma at seventeen, before continuing his education and 
ultimately earning a master's degree in business administration and 
serving as a college professor for 28 years. However, Earl deployed for 
Vietnam before his high school graduation ceremony, beginning a 
military career spanning over 20 years, resulting in his inability to 
walk across the high school stage to pick up his physical diploma. 
Today, Earl will be able to walk across the stage and receive his 
diploma, and we will all be able to celebrate his life of service and 
accomplishment.
  I thank Mr. McMillan for his many years of service to our country and 
am humbled to be able to help honor him for his accomplishments.
