Text in the Record
(Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Army veteran Van Buren Anderson, Jr., of Tarboro who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. As a young Army sergeant, Mr. Anderson answered our Nation's call and served in Japan following World War II. Arriving in Nagasaki in the aftermath of the war, he witnessed firsthand the devastating cost of conflict, a memory that has remained with him throughout his life. Returning home to Edgecombe County, Mr. Anderson helped establish the Edgecombe County Rescue Squad that would save countless lives and serve generations of eastern North Carolinians. Whether wearing the uniform of the United States Army or volunteering in his hometown, Mr. Anderson lived by a simple principle: When people needed help, he stepped forward to provide a helping hand, and we will always be grateful.
