         HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF ADMIRAL WAYNE JUSTICE

  (Mr. Haridopolos of Florida was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Admiral Wayne Justice, a dear friend and proud American.
  Admiral Justice lived a life dedicated to public service not only to 
our Nation but to our community. Admiral Justice, a graduate of the 
United States Coast Guard Academy and Navy War College, devoted 37 
years of his life to the United States Coast Guard, roughly half in 
which he was in command conducting counterdrug, illegal immigrant, and 
search and rescue patrols.
  Among his many service highlights, he spent 3 years as a military 
aide to Presidents Bush and Clinton, tasked with potential execution of 
our nuclear codes.
  After retiring from the Coast Guard, Admiral Justice continued his 
commitment to excellence right here at home. As Port Canaveral 
Commissioner, he championed economic development, maritime safety, and 
the continued growth of Florida's greatest economic engines. His 
leadership helped shape the future of our region and his impact will be 
felt for generations to come.
  Wayne Justice was far more than a leader. He was a loving husband, 
father, and a friend, a friend we would like to have. Florida is better 
because Admiral Justice lived here. Our Coast Guard is stronger because 
he served. Our community is more united because of the values he 
embodied.
  Mr. Speaker, may we carry forward his legacy of service, integrity, 
and boundless dedication to our Nation. May his family find comfort in 
knowing that their father, as a husband and as a leader, his kindness 
will never be forgotten.
