“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Corpus Christi Army Depot, which celebrates its 60th anniversary today. CCAD is the premier rotary-winged helicopter repair and maintenance facility for the U.S. Army. Like a battle-hardened soldier, CCAD remains strong, committed, and dedicated to answering the Nation's call and keeping the Army flag flying. The freedom and security that Americans enjoy today are a direct result of the hard work and continuing commitment of CCAD to the mission given by the U.S. Army. Thousands of military, civilian, and contractor employees have walked the halls, worked in the hangars, turned the wrenches, flown the aircraft, and dedicated themselves to the operation that began in 1961. The community leaders and citizens of Corpus Christi, Texas, recognize and appreciate the service of all personnel of CCAD, past and present. We salute this great organization's unending mission. I wish the Corpus Christi Army Depot a happy 60th birthday today. ____________________”
