                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Col. Richard 
J. Dreiman, Ohio Army National Guard, on the occasion of his retirement 
from military service.
  Throughout his 30 years of distinguished military service, Richard 
Dreiman has demonstrated unwavering dedication to performing his duties 
and fulfilling responsibilities with the utmost efficiency and 
competence.
  Richard Dreiman began his military career as a second lieutenant in 
1965. He served with distinction while on active duty with the 7th 
Infantry Division, 25th Infantry Division, and the 1st Armored 
Division.
  In June, 1977, Richard Dreiman became a member of the Ohio National 
Guard, rising through the ranks to become a colonel. After holding many 
leadership positions, he was appointed in 1991 as the U.S. Property and 
Fiscal Officer for Ohio. Richard Dreiman received numerous honors, 
commendations, and awards.
  The heroic tradition of our country's armed forces are an important 
part of our American heritage. By working diligently to perpetuate and 
preserve those traditions, Richard Dreiman has earned the respect of 
all those with whom he has served. As he begins his retirement, Colonel 
Dreiman can take great satisfaction in knowing that he has provided a 
valuable service to his State and Nation. He has established a record 
of achievement which will stand as a hallmark for others to emulate.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Col. Richard J. Dreiman on the occasion of 
his retirement and in saluting him as one of the Nation's finest 
citizens.
