“Mr. Speaker, Colonel Bank is a very interesting guy. He will be 100, as I said, in November. I want to reiterate that he is still alive and kicking and doing a great job for us. I will remind Members that until his 75th birthday, he ran several miles a day. In fact, when he had his troops, sometimes he had an ambulance follow them during their workouts because some of the new young recruits did not know how difficult it was going to be in those units. Even today, he rides a stationary bike four days a week. He lives in Orange County, California; and we are very proud of him, as we are of all our Special Forces from over the years.”
