JON C. PORTER\n\n                               of nevada\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006\n\n  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor American Legionnaire\nEmeritus Clayton Glenn for his lifetime of service and dedication to\nthis nation and its veterans.\n  Mr. Glenn was born 86 years ago in Brockton, MA, and has served this\ncountry since late 1941. It was the attack on Pearl Harbor nearly 65\nyears ago that spurred his enlistment into the U.S. Armed Forces. This\npath of service took him to military bases all across the United States\nand abroad for the ensuing 23 years.\n  Mr. Glenn's first stop was Ft. Devins, west of Boston, MA, where he\nserved as infantryman, and then he moved on to the Jefferson Barracks\nin St. Louis, MO. He soon endeavored to join the U.S. Army Air Corps,\nwhich was to be the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force. There he served\nas an aircraft mechanic until 1948. Mr. Glenn desired to be stationed\nin New England, and so landed at Otis Air Force Base in Massachusetts.\n  Over the next 2 years, he worked as a floor man--sanding and\nrefinishing floors, laying tiles and linoleum. This occupation allowed\nhim the adventure of even flooring inside the Kennedy home while in\nMassachusetts. By 1950, he joined the U.S. Air Force Reserves and got\nrecalled to active duty for Korea. Although Mr. Glenn never made it to\nKorea, he did get sent to Tooele, Greenland. His return to the States\nbrought him from Wichita Falls, TX to Mobile, AL. From Mobile he was\nstationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada for a short span of time\nwhere he purchased a home in Boulder City. Mr. Glenn's final military\nstop was at Rantoul Air Force Base just south of Chicago, IL, in 1960\nwhere be finished his military journey and retired 4 years later in\n1964.\n  From Rantoul, Mr. Glenn and his wife, Theo, returned to Boulder City\nwhere he has resided ever since. Having been a member of the American\nLegion for over 60 years and an active leader at the Boulder City's\nPost 31 since his time at Nellis Air Force Base has earned him the\ntitle ``Mr. American Legion'' by fellow members and friends. Mr. Glenn\nhas served as post commander three times--something accomplished by\nonly two other persons, and he served as district commander from 1991-\n92 where he oversaw 15 State posts and over 6,000 members.\n  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Clayton Glenn today. His\nservice and loyalty to the community, our country and our veterans has\nearned him many accolades. I wish him the best in all his future\nendeavors.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2006-12-08-pt1-PgE2135-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0710530914366245, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
