  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of Mr. 
Russell Lee Green of Savoy, Texas, who peacefully passed away on March 
30, 2024.
  Mr. Green was born on November 18, 1941, to Norris J. Green and Fairy 
Faye Green. As a young man, he wanted to serve his country and 
contribute to a greater cause. Mr. Green joined the United States Navy, 
where he attended radar school and specialized in operating 
sophisticated electronic equipment. After serving in the Navy, he 
attended the University of North Texas, where he met his beloved wife, 
Denise. They married in 1966 after completing their freshman year. 
Together, they purchased land outside of Ector and built a house. For 
most of his professional career, Mr. Green worked in management 
positions for Texas Instruments in its Government Products Division and 
other electronic manufacturing companies in the Dallas area.
  Mr. Green was a devoted man of faith. He attended the Church of 
Christ in Savoy, where he led many Bible studies and served as a lay 
preacher. In his free time, Mr. Green was passionate about conservative 
politics, raising honeybees, and taking care of his Limousin cattle. He 
was a gardener, and he worked with Denise to grow fruits and vegetables 
for his family and community. Moreover, Mr. Green enjoyed camping, 
travelling, and most importantly, fishing. He has requested his ashes 
to be scattered on his favorite fishing pond. I am saddened to hear of 
Mr. Green's passing, as his kindness and generosity truly made the 
world a brighter place.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol to honor Mr. Green's wonderful life. He will be dearly missed 
by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
