           HONORING JAMES LYLE BULLOCK ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional North 
Carolinian and American hero, Mr. James Lyle Bullock, who recently 
celebrated his 100th birthday.
  A U.S. Navy veteran, Mr. Bullock served our Nation with honor during 
World War II in the Pacific theater. As both a cook and a gunner, he 
played a crucial role in defending the freedoms we cherish.
  Last weekend, I had the privilege to attend Mr. Bullock's 100th 
birthday celebration and present him with a flag flown over the Capitol 
in his honor.
  While there is nothing we can do to adequately thank Mr. Bullock for 
his years of service, this is a small token of gratitude for his 
bravery and sacrifice, and it was so much fun meeting his entire 
family.
  As we celebrate his remarkable life, let's recommit ourselves to 
ensuring that every veteran has access to the exceptional resources and 
care they deserve.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Mr. Bullock a happy 100th birthday.
