                      HONORING HOWARD THOMAS YOUNG

  (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 World War II veteran, Howard Thomas Young, who peacefully 
passed away March 9, 2026, at the age of 101.
  Mr. Young was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1925, being the 
youngest of four boys.
  After graduating from high school at just 17 years old, Howard 
bravely enlisted in the United States Navy at the height of the Second 
World War. He was deployed in the South Pacific under 5-star Admiral 
Chester Nimitz and heroically fought for our country against the perils 
of fascism.
  After the war, Mr. Young received a college education and began 
working for Owens-Illinois. After 35 years, Mr. Young decided to retire 
in Savannah, Georgia, where he worked tirelessly in volunteer services 
for our community, becoming an active member of many charitable 
organizations.
  Howard Young was a dedicated patriot who served with unwavering 
courage and commitment. We thank him for his service to our country and 
to our community.
