             CELEBRATING DR. ELDRED CAUSEY'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. CLYDE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYDE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable 
individual in Georgia's Ninth District, Dr. Eldred Causey.
  On February 11, Dr. Causey, a distinguished World War II veteran and 
the oldest living veteran in Rabun County, will celebrate his 100th 
birthday.

  Dr. Causey's life is nothing short of extraordinary. Following the 
attack on Pearl Harbor, young Eldred knew he wanted to answer the call 
of duty. As a naval aviator, Lieutenant Junior Grade Causey 
courageously served our Nation, patrolling the Pacific Northwest 
throughout the war while stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.
  After his military service, Mr. Causey returned to the Peach State to 
attend the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. 
He then opened his own veterinary practice in Athens and later returned 
to the university as a professor, leaving a remarkable impact on his 
students and the University of Georgia community.
  Dr. Causey's life represents a century of bravery, sacrifice, and 
dedication. As the Rabun County community celebrates Dr. Causey's major 
milestone birthday next week, I know I speak for the Ninth District in 
thanking Eldred for his honorable service and wishing him a wonderful 
100th birthday.
