  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in gratitude to honor the 
career of a man who has given his whole professional life to serving 
the people of the United States.

school at the young age of 16. In 1974, he made the decision to join 
the U.S. Army that would shape the rest of his career. Davis was in the 
Army until 1977, and he then enlisted in the Navy from 1982 to 1985. He 
spent the next 11 years with the Department of Defense in New Orleans, 
and then transferred to the Department of Transportation, Federal 
Aviation Administration in Monroe, LA. in 1996. He has been serving in 
this capacity ever since.
  Charlie D. Davis is an exemplary public servant, and on the occasion 
of his retirement, I ask my colleagues to join me and the people of 
Louisiana in extending our thanks and recognition for the many years of 
hard work he gave to keep our State and Nation strong and secure.
