                     IN APPRECIATION OF ALLEN AIMAR

  (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, I rise today to wish a 
fond farewell to a member of the Second Congressional District staff, 
Allen Aimar.
  Allen first served as a field representative in our Beaufort 
Lowcountry office before coming to Washington as military legislative 
assistant. Allen is leaving Washington behind for his law school career 
at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. He will be joined by his wife, 
Amber, who previously served on the staff of the Second District and as 
staff to Dr. Phil Roe.
  Allen has been vital in helping constituents, particularly on 
military issues. He has brought his own experience and knowledge as a 
veteran of the Army National Guard in Iraq. He appreciates our 
servicemembers, their families and veterans.
  Allen is the son of Allen and Deborah Aimar of Johnson City, 
Tennessee, and of Greg and Marian Erickson of Beaufort, South Carolina, 
and is brother to Adam Aimar.
  We are all tremendously proud of Allen and Amber, and we wish them 
and their young son, Alexander Jacob Aimar, all the best in the years 
to come. Godspeed to the Aimar family.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
