Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of Michael Barton Wilson of Glasgow, Kentucky.

Mr. Wilson served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and was part of the initial crew on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. During his tour of duty in the Navy, Mr. Wilson was also stationed at Midway Island, and he later spearheaded a reunion of Midway Island residents from across the country in his retirement. He also served as the Commander of DAV Chapter 20 in Barren County, Kentucky, and he often helped his fellow veterans get the care they deserved.

I join with Mr. Wilson's family and the Barren County community in remembering his selfless dedication to serving his country, his fellow veterans, and anyone else in need
