                     Wednesday, September 13, 2023

  Mr. SELF. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to honor Dr. Howard Riley 
of Greenville, Texas, who recently marked his 100th birthday on August 
24, 2023.
  Dr. Howard Riley is a true example of courage, sacrifice, and 
commitment. He served our Nation with honor as a Corporal in the Army 
Air Forces during World War II, from December 9, 1942, to February 18, 
1946, where he worked diligently as a radio operator. His dedication to 
our Nation and its values extended far beyond his military service, as 
he continued to contribute to the betterment of our society in the 
post-war years.
  Dr. Howard Riley serves as both an inspiring testament to the 
resilience of the human spirit and a living reminder of the sacrifices 
made by the Greatest Generation in the pursuit of freedom. For this, we 
extend our eternal gratitude.
