                         Monday, April 28, 2014

  Mr. MULLIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Chandler and 
Maria Smith on the birth of their daughter, Rosslyn Marie Smith.
  When my wife and I were married sixteen years ago, Chandler was our 
ring bearer. His family is very special, and I have been close to his 
parents for years.
  Chandler graduated Basic Training on December 13, 2013 as a Private 
First Class, and graduated from the Infantry Training Battalion on 
April 1, 2014. It's my privilege to honor him for becoming a father.
  Rosslyn Marie Smith was born on December 28, 2013. She and her 
mother, Maria, are both healthy, and their family is currently 
stationed at the United States Marine Base in Camp Pendleton, 
California. I thank Chandler for his service and his commitment to our 
country. I wish him and Maria all the best as they watch their daughter 
grow.
  I ask my colleagues to join me, Chandler, and Maria in celebrating 
Rosslyn Marie Smith's birth, and look forward for the many years of 
happiness for their family.
