                   HONORING JUDGE H. SAMUEL STILWELL

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, long-time friend, Judge 
Sam Stilwell, a true Southern gentleman, recently retired from the 
South Carolina Court of Appeals after 11 years on the bench. Judge 
Stilwell's personal integrity and professionalism have earned him a 
well-deserved reputation as a fine judge and attorney.
  Judge Stilwell graduated from the University of South Carolina Law 
School, served as counsel to the late Senator Strom Thurmond, and was a 
colleague of mine in the South Carolina State Senate, ably representing 
Greenville County.
  I want to thank his wife Robin and their children and spouses: Rivers 
and Charlotte, Jason and Amanda, Allison and Bo, and Rob and Charlotte 
for their years of support. We are all proud that Rob is currently 
serving with the 218th Brigade Combat Team of the South Carolina Army 
National Guard in Afghanistan.
  South Carolina is grateful for Judge Stilwell's years of dedicated 
public service to his State and country, and we wish him all the best 
in his future endeavors.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th.
