  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life and military service of World War II veteran, Mr. Andrew 
``Clyde'' Neaves, of Saltillo, Mississippi.
  Mr. Neaves served as a Weapons Repair Specialist for the 1804th 
Aviation Ordnance with the United States Army Air Corps beginning in 
1942. During his service, he spent over two and a half years in the 
South Pacific. He completed his service in 1945.
  After the war, Mr. Neaves returned to Saltillo, Mississippi and was 
an employee of Phillips Day-Brite Industries for 35 years. He started a 
family and had four children with his wife, Mrs. Agnes Marie Neaves. 
Mr. Neaves has remained active in his beloved community of Saltillo. He 
has served on the Saltillo Board of Alderman, was Vice-Mayor, and was a 
recipient of the Saltillo ``Citizen of the Year'' award.
  This year, Mr. Neaves celebrated his 98th birthday. Mr. Neaves is an 
American patriot who served our great nation and continues to set an 
example for others to follow. I wish him many more years of good 
health.
