                         HONORING RANDALL PIFER

  (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 in honor of U.S. 
Army veteran Randall Pifer.
  Randall was recently recognized with the Veteran of the Year Award by 
the Brunswick Exchange Club.
  He grew up in coastal Georgia's Golden Isles where he played high 
school football. Randall then attended the prestigious United States 
Military Academy at West Point and entered Active Duty service in 1975. 
He served at Fort Benning, Fort Rucker, Hunter Army Airfield, and in 
West Germany as a combat helicopter pilot.
  Randall joined the National Guard in 1989 where he continued to fly 
missions in the Middle East.
  He retired in 2014 with over 41 years of military experience where he 
earned the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, and 
numerous Army medals.
  Randall Pifer's record speaks for itself. He is a patriot, a hero, 
and a model we should all look up to.
