                        Wednesday, June 4, 2008

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today on the occasion of 
the 40th Wedding Anniversary of Fred and Barbara McFaul. As the love 
between Fred and Barbara grew throughout their forty years of marriage, 
so did their love for the people and the communities of Northwest 
Florida.
  A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Fred McFaul devoutly served his 
country and Northwest Florida as a Special Agent with the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In fact, it was just down Pennsylvania 
Avenue at the Old Post Office where Fred first met his future wife. 
After more than thirty years of service, he retired from the FBI and 
served as the Director of Public Safety at Okaloosa Walton College and 
later as the Director of Training at the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's 
Office.
  The youngest daughter of a coal miner from Iaeger, West Virginia, 
Barbara was working as an administrative assistant at the FBI when she 
first met Fred. After getting married and raising two children, Barbara 
decided to attend nursing school at Pensacola Junior College to pursue 
a career in health care. She became a Registered Nurse and proudly 
served at West Florida Hospital in Pensacola.
  Fred and Barbara continue to demonstrate their strong family values 
and unwavering faith in God as loving parents and grandparents. They 
have stood as a shining inspiration for their son, Dan; daughter, Lori; 
son-in-law, Chris; and grandchildren, Caroline and Christopher.
  Through their leadership and dedication, Fred and Barbara honorably 
served as an inspiration to us all. Now settled in Santa Rosa County in 
retirement, Northwest Florida is truly blessed to have them as our own. 
Together, they have touched and saved a number of lives, and the impact 
they have made on the community will leave a lasting impression.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, it is a great 
honor for me to congratulate Fred and Barbara McFaul on their forty 
years together and their love and dedicated service to the communities 
of Northwest Florida.
