Whereas the Borinqueneers, throughout their service in 
World War I, World War II, and, most notably, the Ko-
rean War, served with distinction; 
Whereas the Borinqueneers demonstrated their military 
prowess in Korea and earned the respect and admiration 
of their fellow soldiers and military authorities, most no-
tably General Douglas MacArthur; 
Whereas the Borinqueneers were sent to battle on the front 
lines in Korea and participated in nine major campaigns 
during the Korean War; 
Whereas the Borinqueneers made valuable contributions to 
the war effort, including by suffering a tremendous num-
ber of casualties that was disproportionate to the popu-
lation of Puerto Rico; 
Whereas the 65th Infantry Borinqueneers earned well-de-
served praise, including a Presidential Unit Citation, a 
Meritorious Unit Commendation, and two Republic of 
Korea Unit Citations; and 
Whereas the 65th Infantry has ceased to exist as an all-Puer-
to Rico unit, but thousands of Puerto Ricans have con-
tinued to volunteer freely and serve in the Armed Forces 
and have served ably during wartime: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the service of the 65th Infantry 
Borinqueneers during the Korean War; 
(2) honors the people of Puerto Rico, who con-
tinue to serve and volunteer for service in the Armed 
Forces and make sacrifices for the country; and

which I would not be willing to assume for myself, or for

IN DISCHARGING this trust, I pledge myself 
never to undertake work or approve work which I feel to 
be beyond the limits of my knowledge nor shall I allow 
any non-certified superior to persuade me to approve air-
craft or equipment as airworthy against my better judg-

worthy aircraft or equipment about which I am in doubt 
either as a result of direct inspection or uncertainty re-
garding the ability of others who have worked on it to ac-
complish their work satisfactorily.

Whereas in 1902 Charles Edward Taylor began working as 
a machinist for Orville and Wilbur Wright at the Wright 
Cycle Company in Dayton, Ohio; 
Whereas using only a metal lathe, drill press, and hand tools, 
Charles Edward Taylor built, in 6 weeks, the 12-horse-
power engine that was used to power the Wright broth-
ers’ first flying machine; 
Whereas Charles Edward Taylor’s ingenuity earned him a 
place in aviation history when the Wright brothers suc-
cessfully flew their airplane in controlled flight on De-
cember 17, 1903; 
Whereas Charles Edward Taylor had a successful career in 
aviation maintenance for more than 60 years;

Whereas Charles Edward Taylor was honored by the Federal 
Aviation Administration with the establishment of the 
Charles Edward Taylor Master Mechanic Award, which

Whereas Charles Edward Taylor has become a hero to air-
craft maintenance technicians worldwide; and 
Whereas 45 of the States together with the Commonwealths, 
Territories, Republics, and Federations of the United 
States have already declared May 24 to be Aviation 
Maintenance Technician Day within their jurisdictions: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports National Aviation Maintenance Techni-
cian Day to honor the professional men and women who 
ensure the safety and security of our airborne aviation 
infrastructure; and 
(2) recognizes the life and memory of Charles Ed-
