HON. EARL L. “BUDDY” CARTER

of georgia

in the house of representatives

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Private Bennett H. Waters, a serviceman who tragically died as a prisoner of war during World War II.

Private Waters was a Southeast Georgia serviceman whose remains were

recently identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

A member of the Army Air Force 17th Bombardment Squadron, 27th

Bombardment Group, Private Waters was stationed in the Philippines.

He was taken prisoner during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines

in April 1942 and remained a POW until his death in 1944.

He is forever memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila

American Cemetery and Memorial.

His remains will now be transferred from the National Memorial

Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu to his final resting place among family in Georgia.

We thank Private Waters for his bravery, service, and sacrifice to

our Nation 82 years ago.
