  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of the 
Honorable Jay Douglas Weeks of Lebanon Township, New Jersey. Jay leaves 
a long legacy of courage, honor and distinguished public service.
  Jay started his life of service by volunteering for the Marines. He 
was taught to fly and excelled in combat maneuvering and navigation. He 
mastered fighter jets and bravely served on many important missions. In 
his professional life, Jay crafted his love of the skies as a pilot for 
United Airlines.
  Jay continued his dedicated public service on the Lebanon Township 
Committee. There he had a long and accomplished tenure, including 
serving many terms as Mayor. He also volunteered his time with 
organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American 
Legion, the Elks and the Free Masons. He was also a lifelong sportsman 
and outdoorsman. Jay was a wonderful husband to Matilda and a beloved 
father, grandfather and great grandfather. Jay's devotion to others and 
his love of life will be sorely missed.
