  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Hal Davis, an East 
Tennessean who has served the United States and the State of Tennessee 
for over 50 years.
  Hal Davis was born on July 18, 1947 in Ashland, Kentucky. After 
graduating from South High School in Knoxville, Hal attended the 
University of Tennessee and took classes from multiple other 
universities while deployed as a United States Marine. While Hal was a 
U.S. Marine he was stationed in South Carolina, North Carolina, 
California, as well as overseas in Spain, South Vietnam, and the 
Dominican Republic.
  Hal served in the United States Secret Service in Washington, D.C. 
where he was tasked with the protection of President Nixon, President 
Ford, multiple presidential candidates, and vice presidents and their 
families throughout the years. He was also employed as a special 
investigator with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and a Special 
investigator with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
  In addition to his military and federal service, Hal was a Tennessee 
State Trooper in both Chattanooga and Knoxville's districts.
  He has authored and published two books about travel and his years 
serving his country. I thank Hal for his service.
