                          HONORING JACK BORMAN

  (Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
achievements of Jack Borman. In a few days, Jack will be retiring from 
the Kenton County Sheriff's Department, and I think this is the ideal 
time to honor his dedication and lifetime of service to our Nation.
  As a young man from Silver Grove, Kentucky, Jack joined the military

and was deployed to fight in the Korean War. He bravely fought in 
missions at Triangle Hill, in Operation Smack and in the now infamous 
battle at Pork Chop Hill. For his bravery and valor at the Battle of 
Pork Chop Hill, one of the most deadly battles of the Korean War, he 
was awarded the Silver Star and a Purple Heart.
  Several years ago, MGM Studios released a film about this battle, and 
Jack added movie star to his long list of lifetime accomplishments. 
From fighting in Korea to serving Kenton County, he has selflessly 
served and protected us. Jack, we thank you for your service and wish 
you much success in your retirement.
  Jack is a busy grandfather to 19 grandchildren. I'm sure his life 
will continue to be a great adventure. For all that, thank you for your 
service.
