  Mr. CASSIDY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Staff Sergeant 
Ory Marioneaux, Sr., U.S. Army, on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
  Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on October 28, 1919, Ory Marioneaux 
has lived in Baton Rouge nearly all his 90 years. He graduated from 
McKinley High School in 1940 and rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant in 
the U.S. Army, fighting for our country in the European Theatre of 
World War II in 1942.
  After his honorable discharge from military service, Ory returned to 
Baton Rouge and was reunited with his wife, Mary Agnes Honore', with 
whom he raised eight children, twenty-two grandchildren, and several 
great-grandchildren.
  Ory worked in service to the people of Baton Rouge throughout his 
career, both as a private contractor and public employee. Ory worked as 
a maintenance supervisor for the Housing Authority, a construction 
supervisor for the city of Baton Rouge, and a teacher of the World War 
II defense program at Southern University.
  Ory Marioneaux has led a life of service to his country and devotion 
to his family that should serve as an example to us all. I join his 
family in wishing him, on behalf of a grateful country, a happy 90th 
birthday.
