                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 17, 1998

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who has 
dedicated 29 years of his life protecting the people of this great 
Nation and ensuring the American way of life. This gentleman has 
distinguished himself as a community leader, a dedicated family man, 
and a decorated officer in the U.S. Army. The man I speak about today 
is Major General David H. Ohle.
  The distinguished career of Major General David Ohle began as he 
completed a Bachelor of Science degree from the U.S. Military Academy 
in 1968. His military service spans more than 29 years at various 
levels of command and staff positions. He began his career as an 
Infantry Officer. A few of his commands include a Ranger company in 
Vietnam, an infantry battalion at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and an 
infantry brigade at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
  Major General Ohle exemplifies the ideal of citizen-soldier. He has 
earned every decoration he wears, among which are a Silver Star, three 
Legions of Merit, and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal. He has 
served his country well, and will continue to do so in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in congratulating Major General 
Ohle on his new assignment as Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel. 
Along with his new position, he will be promoted to the rank of three 
star Lieutenant General. On behalf of the Congress of the United States 
and the people of this great Nation, I offer our heartfelt appreciation 
to Major General Ohle for a job well done and best wishes for continued 
success.
