               TRIBUTE TO WORLD WAR II VETERAN CARL CRISP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of a 
remarkable war hero from Indiana's 6th Congressional District--World 
War II Veteran, Carl Crisp.
  Carl honorably served in the United States Army Air Corps from 1943 
to 1945. He flew numerous missions with the allied forces throughout 
the Ardennes and played a critical role in liberating France from Nazi 
occupation.
  It's been a long time coming, but on Saturday, August 1, 2015, Carl 
will be presented the French Legion of Honor Medal during a ceremony at 
the Henry County Historical Society Museum. This distinguished honor is 
given only to those who have served France or the ideals it upholds, 
and Carl's service in World War II makes him more than deserving.
  I congratulate Carl on this recognition and thank him for his service 
on behalf of our great nation. The entire free world owes him a debt of 
gratitude that can never be repaid.

                          ____________________
