                        Thursday, March 13, 2008

  Mr. PEARCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the great 
achievements of Lt. Larry Furrow. In the 41 years that Larry has served 
the U.S. military and Government, he continually showed great 
dedication, knowledge, and skill. I greatly admire his dedication to 
his work. His many years of education and lifetime of experiences make 
Mr. Furrow a noteworthy man and an exceptional example to other people.
  Mr. Furrow's service to his country did not stop in the military 
after he gained the rank of lieutenant in 1993. He went on to become 
the chief of public affairs for White Sands Missile Range in New 
Mexico. These are all reasons to honor Mr. Furrow, but he is also 
admired for his great sense of humor that attracted people to him--
whether it was in the military, flying people around, or working in 
public relations for White Sands Missile Range.
  Among his many respectable traits, Mr. Furrow is also an enthusiastic 
outdoorsman who likes to spend time snowshoeing, skiing, and running 
marathons. He is not only adventurous and dedicated, he is also a 
loving husband, father, and grandfather.
  In all of the years that Mr. Furrow has been in the workplace, he has 
exemplified hard work, dedication, and commitment to duty and country. 
It is inspiring to know and a privilege to honor Mr. Furrow in his time 
of retirement. On behalf of the people of the Second District

of New Mexico, I congratulate Mr. Furrow on his outstanding career and 
know that he will continue to inspire others with the intelligence, 
leadership, thoughtfulness and humor that he displayed to so many 
throughout the years.
