               IN RECOGNITION OF RAY MILLER'S RETIREMENT

                                  _____
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 13, 2015

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ray Miller, a 
thirty year veteran of the Coast Guard Reserves and the Commander of 
the American Legion post in Hanover, Massachusetts.
  Mr. Miller's career in the Coast Guard Reserves led him to serve this 
great nation in her darkest moments. In the days immediately following 
the September eleventh terrorist attacks, Mr. Miller was called into 
active duty to help secure our shores against those who sought to sow 
continued chaos. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Miller once 
again answered the call of duty by deploying to Mobile, Alabama to help 
restore normalcy to the lives of those residents of the Gulf. And when 
that normalcy was disrupted once more in the Deep Water Horizon crisis, 
Ray Miller did not hesitate to once again help the residents of the 
Gulf of Mexico.
  Closer to his home, Mr. Miller helped keep Boston safe during the 
Democratic National Convention in the summer of 2004. And then again in 
2012, he served the people of this region by aiding the recovery 
efforts in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The veterans 
and members of the American Legion community in Hanover have been well 
served because of his work as Legion Post Commander.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Mr. Ray Miller on this remarkable 
occasion. I ask that my colleagues join me in wishing him a wonderful 
retirement and many years of happiness.
