  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
constituent on his 102nd birthday--Dr. Victor Tynes from Guilford 
County. I am honored to acknowledge this joyous milestone, filled with 
memories and experiences. I am grateful for the opportunity to thank 
Dr. Tynes for his military service. A United States Army veteran of 
World War II, Dr. Tynes served our country with honor. Furthermore, Dr. 
Tynes is a great ambassador of his alma mater, North Carolina A&T 
University. A member of the class of 1940, Dr. Tynes served in the 
English and Biology Departments and as the Director of Public 
Relations. North Carolina has been truly fortunate to share in his long 
legacy of achievement. I join with his family, friends, alma mater and 
the Sixth District in congratulating Mr. Victor Tynes on this special 
occasion.
