  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize the birthday of James Cecil Lindley. He will turn

at the University of Alabama.
  Mr. Lindley did his basic training for the Army in June of 1942 in 
Miami, Florida. He then went to Air Force training at Fort Logan, 
Colorado and later Peterson Field in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  He served in the 5th Air Force with the 20th mapping squadron. During 
World War II, he served in the Philippines. Mr. Lindley was discharged 
after World War II at Camp Shelby in October 1945.
  Mr. Lindley married Audrey Cofield and had two children: Don and 
Doyle (deceased). He also has a daughter-in-law, Sheila Ponder Lindley. 
He was blessed with four grandchildren: Tracy Lindley, James Robert 
(Rob) Lindley (deceased), Cinda Lindley and Kerrie Lindley. And also 
blessed with four great-grandchildren: Lindley Thompson, Nic Thompson,

  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the life and achievements 
of Mr. Lindley and wishing him a happy 100th birthday.
