Speaker. I am proud to make a statement today in praise of an outstanding member of the Virgin Islands community. Edward Wilmoth Blyden. who has Just celebrated 50 years of service with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Ed Blyden has served this agency and this Nation longer than any other active INS employee. beginning in 1941 at the age of 16 as a messenger. After military service in World War II. he returned to INS and later was promoted to clerk and. in 1972. to the position of immigration inspector. His years of unstinting service and his rise through the ranks stand as an excellent example for young Virgin Islanders to follow. Ed Blyden has proven the worth of the oldtime values of hard work. integrity. and dedication.
