  HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER ROBERT STEWART 
                                 CUTLER

  (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 to honor the life 
and legacy of Lieutenant Commander Robert Stewart Cutler, who passed 
away peacefully on April 16, 2025, at the age of 97, in Savannah, 
Georgia.
  Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 14, 1928, Lieutenant 
Commander Cutler answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in 
the United States Coast Guard at 17 years old.
  During his distinguished 27-year military career, he rose from an 
enlisted man to an officer, culminating in his roles as Commander of 
the Coast Guard Group in Savannah and Captain of the Port.
  Even after retirement, his commitment to public service continued.
  He dedicated an additional 29 years to the Coast Guard Auxiliary, 
promoting maritime safety and community outreach.
  Outside of his formal duties, Lieutenant Commander Cutler was 
actively engaged in various veterans organizations, tirelessly 
advocating for the welfare of those who served.
  He shared 54 cherished years of marriage with his late wife, Dorothy, 
building a loving family that continues their legacy of kindness. His 
life was marked by steadfast service to his country, community, and 
family.
  Mr. Speaker, may Lieutenant Commander Cutler's memory bring comfort 
to those who knew him.
