    for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
      Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege today to honor
    Colonel Anthony W. Young, a distinguished veteran and dedicated public
    servant in our community.
      Colonel Young is a retired United States Army officer who has devoted
    his life to serving both our Nation and our local community.
      Tony is a native of Vero Beach. He has served as mayor, councilman,
    and vice mayor, and he has been a key leader in the Florida League of
    Cities.
      Tony's military career spanned over 30 years, serving with the 24th
    Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division, and the 30th Medical
    Brigade. His dedication and leadership have left an indelible mark on
    our military, city, and Nation.
      Most recently, under his leadership as the president of the Indian
    River Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America, Tony
    spearheaded the creation of a permanent memorial for local World War II
    veterans, ensuring that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
      Colonel Tony Young is a true patriot and an embodiment of service. We
    are
