  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Mark Davis of 
Auburn, Washington, for forty-five years of dedicated service to the 
airline industry.
  In 1967, Mr. Davis began working on the ramp for Northwest Airlines, 
with a propeller-driven Lockheed Electra. Over the next 45 years, he 
served in a variety of capacities for his company. These included time 
as a ramp agent, cleaner, working in the commissary, fueling aircrafts, 
serving at the post office and, finally, as a freight runner.
  At a special ceremony, Mr. Davis received a pin commemorating his 45 
years of service. Delta Cargo leaders and employees surprised him by 
unveiling a ramp tug personalized with his name, employment date and 
years of service.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize Mark Davis for a 
long career of service to the airline industry in Seattle, Washington. 
Employees like Mark make companies, our economy, and our country 
thrive.
