                         Tuesday, May 28, 2024

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Marine Corps Lance 
Corporal George Cassar, Purple Heart recipient, for his service to our 
Nation, as he serves as Grand Marshall of the City of Dearborn's 
ninety-eighth Memorial Day festivities.
  Lance Corporal Cassar joined the Marine Corps in October 1966 and 
served until 1969. During his service, Cassar displayed remarkable 
bravery and perseverance, earning two Purple Hearts. The first was 
awarded after his tank was hit by a rocket, and the second was given 
when he was wounded by shrapnel. Since his retirement from military 
service, Lance Corporal Cassar continues to serve his community, 
coaching basketball for an impressive forty-seven years.
  Please join me in recognizing Lance Corporal George Cassar for his 
service to our Nation.
