  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to pay tribute 
to Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Stan Shurmantine, of Lexington, MO, who 
recently retired from the United States Army Reserves after 28 years.
  On February 28, 2003, Stan ended an outstanding career in the Army 
Reserves. Through the years, he has dedicated himself to serving the 
American people.
  Currently, Stan serves as the manager of IBS Industries, Inc., in 
Independence, MO. IBS honored Stan's military service with a reception, 
which was attended by 250 guests.
  Stan in addition to his military service, has served his home 
community of Lexington, where he lives with his wife Marcie. He is a 
councilman and also serves as mayor pro-tem.
  Mr. Speaker, Lieutenant Colonel Stan Shurmantine has honored the 
United States Army Reserves with service for 28 years. As he continues 
his work at IBS Industries, Inc. and the city of Lexington, I know that 
the Members of the House will join me in wishing him all the best in 
the days ahead.
