Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Donald McLeod, an Orange County airman. In 1945, Mr. McLeod joined the Army before transferring to the newly created U.S. Air Force. From the excitement of the Berlin airlift to the isolation of Greenland, Mr. McLeod faithfully served his country at every post. When he returned to civilian life, Mr. McLeod used his aircraft expertise to land a job with McDonnell Douglas, where he worked for almost 10 years. In 1985, Mr. McLeod retired and began a career with his newly minted wedded wife as a Catholic missionary. Mr. McLeod retired for a second time in 2010 and currently lives in my district in Anaheim, where he enjoys the events put on by the American Veterans Assistance Group. His dedication to serving others is unmatched, and I am happy that he is enjoying his well-deserved second retirement. Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. McLeod for serving his country and for his dedication to our community. He is a valued member of our community. ____________________”
